11 March
So, The Raccoon, clearly trying to punish me for taking a sick day last week, was off sick yesterday. What a fucking nightmare.
I had to deal with yesterday's ninety-three crises all by myself! I did manage to resolve most of them (I left one or two as presents for her so that she will know that I missed her), but it was tricky to manage to get any of my normal work done!
I sure hope she's back tomorrow. I don't deserve two days alone!
Although I wasn't exactly alone, because we have a new temp!
We got her to do the new scanning project where our invoices will be scanned so that if we want to look anything up we can do so on the network rather than by pulling the invoice.
It took her all day to do about 30 invoices out of 100 gazillion, because the scanner is incredibly slow and keeps freezing so that she has to reboot. It's so exciting to think that we will have all of our invoices all scanned into a database! Possibly before my retirement, even!
The funny thing about the temp, though, is that she was there on Tuesday and I introduced myself, but I didn't quite catch her name. I didn't want to ask her to repeat herself, because I have a little hearing problem and sometimes get tired of asking people to repeat themselves all of the time (though no more tired, I'm sure, than everyone gets with repeating themselves to me!).
After she left for the day, I asked The Raccoon what the temp's name was, and she hadn't caught it, either. I wonder how long we will manage to work with her without finding out?
Yay, Beth's back! It's different, but she's back!

The lure of the new and different competes with the attraction of the known and familiar. Keep room for both in your family life.
