Aha!

I knew you'd pop in to brag about your unconventional pagination, Crumb. I only wondered how long it would take. Posting times say ... immediately!
:haha:

972,246 Hey it's one of the few things I got to brag about.

SharonDee · #**27756** 12-19-2006, 06:33 PM

Aw, now you've made me all ashamed of myself.

Sharon!

The stuck up, self-centered twit that passes for a receptionist these days at my company who was handed trays of cookies today by salesman that come in, thought that she was so awesome :snooty:

that the salesman were coming in to give HER all these cookies.. no one else, just her. :stwitch:

My boss and another woman in the office tried to tactfully clue her in but apparently they weren't direct enough, because she didn't get it. And even if she did think that they were for her, you'd think that she'd offer to share them with everyone, what with how many there were, but nope, there they sat in their sealed packages waiting for her to take them home. :asshat:

I learned of all this when I got back from lunch which is when the receptionist goes to lunch at which point I said to my boss, "Well, isn't someone going to put them on the back table for everyone?" My boss who is not the confrontationalist type looked nonplussed as to what to do so I took the ball and ran with it. :speedy:

Not only did I put the trays of :cookie:

on the back table for everyone, I opened the gourmet platter, took a couple, and I am now proudly displaying the bow from the top of the package on the top of my head. :girl:

Forget replacing the 972,237^th lousy receptionist, Shelli. What you really need is a new boss!

Shelli · #**27765** 12-19-2006, 07:33 PM

Sadly enough, pesci, that seems to be true. It's too bad too because she can be an awesome person and as a bookeeper, she's very good at her job. As an office manager, however... :thumbdown:

Crumb · #**27766** 12-19-2006, 07:35 PM

972,235 Maybe you can convince her to trade you.

Leadership requires a different skillset than what makes a person competent in just about any job. :sadcheer:

To be honest, I'm not sure I would even want the repsonsiblity of office manager. :shudder:

972,233

Shelli · #**27769** 12-19-2006, 07:55 PM

Not to mention that being a good office manager requires tactfulness and diplomacy, something I'm not always good at. :blush2:

Shelli · #**27770** 12-19-2006, 08:03 PM

Plus, I wouldn't be able to wear a bow on my head in the office if I was the office manager. :funface:

Crumb · #**27771** 12-19-2006, 08:05 PM

972,230 It was a joke.

Shelli · #**27772** 12-19-2006, 08:16 PM

I'm sure. However, I have been approached regarding the job should my boss leave. So, it's a serious issue on that level. I just don't know if I'd want the responsiblity and the fact that I'd have to contain myself more than I'm known to. :funface:
