Takin' care of business... workin' overtime... sorry, thats the only part of the song I know.

Working undertime is more like it, but don't get me wrong, I've been working. When the top 2 people are gone from a 4 person mini-company, and I'm 3rd on the totem pole, I take on a lot of responsibility.... especially cause my assistant still can't do shit on her own. She had ONE thing to do today - instead of sending a bulky Fed-Ex yesterday, I told her to send a messenger to the client's house this morning and did she do it?? All morning she was asking me every 10 minutes if I had something for her to do while I was trying to handle all the phone calls and client requests. (By the way, don't you HATE it when someone is just sitting there listening in on your conversation or trying to talk to you when they clearly know you're on the phone on a business matter? Bugs the shit out of me.) Finally, at 11:15 am, I buzz her to make sure the messenger came to pickup the package and she said she hadn't done anything yet for that. This is getting beyond ridiculous... I told Stan back in mid-April I had to leave but because Eileen was going on vacation and because he had to find someone who can handle what I do, I'd stay until he finds someone... he's interviewed 2 people since then and I guess both haven't worked out (hint - maybe its the shitty pay... oops did I say that out loud?)
