You know what I hate? I hate when someone hires you for a job because you have 10 years of experience at it...and then expects you to play receptionist/shipping clerk/travel agent on top of it, you know?
I continue to insist that I cannot imagine anyone treating a male employee this way. If they hired a man with ten years of sales account experience, no one would expect him to fend off solicitors, answer the phones, or make other people's travel arrangements, okay?
If Buehler hadn't noticed my frustration and sat down and booked the contractor's travel plans himself, I'd be feeling very bitter at the moment. But he did and now I feel like I was being unreasonable for staring dumbfounded at someone for whom I am the client who thought it was appropriate to "delegate" his work to me.
Also? I'm getting a little uncomfortable with Sterling. He's a very nice man and all and I'm happy to chat with him for a few seconds of a morning and give him a dollar, but I'm not his "girlfriend" and I'm not comfortable with the hugging thing. Some people are huggy...I am not one of them. (He's not hitting on me or anything, he's just being very nice, but I'm not comfortable with it.)
BtVW Seasons 5, 6, and 7 should be appearing today. Weekend festival!
Sorry for the Blogging Lapse. I had four meetings and ten scheduled calls yesterday and I have seven meetings and five scheduled calls today. These kinds of things take up time.
Darla would advise you to put your foot down. Draw the line. Get tough!
As for hugging, it's up to huggers to be conscious of whether or not people appreciate that sort of love. For example, one time I hugged Enid and she was *alarmed*, and so I didn't do it again.
