New people are hard

Have you ever had someone you work with be a total slacker? I can relate to that one. We have a new person in the office who has been there before, left and came back recently, into a new position. I understand that this person doesn't know the same stuff that we other secretaries know, but she was there a week and learned some of the stuff. Like answering the phones, come on man. When you have other people in the office who are totally busy with other stuff, at least answer the f**ing phones!
Can you stay at your desk long enough to help us??? What the hell can she be thinking? I hope the week gets better.

The day is almost over, thank god!

So, I started work last week. The kids hadn't started back at school so Miss Mania watched them all last week. Things went well.
Today was the first day of school for the county that I work in and my kids start tomorrow(we live in a different county). I am soo exhausted, I want to fall asleep right this minute!
I got home a little late today and when I arrived home my kids were there to cheerfully greet me. As soon as I walked in the door, I see it. The living room is completely trashed! The kithcen looks like a tornado went through it and there are clothes everywhere!!!! WTF? I asked Miss Mania what happened. She replied, "I don't know, mom, the kids wouldn't listen and they were being really bad today."
I swear I want to scream and yell and throw a temper tantrum. Against my better judgment, I decided I would clean the shit up. If I want something done rightI do it myself. My kids are lazy and I treat them like babies. I need to stop doing this, I tell myself. I need to be firm and authoritive with them. I still ended up cleaning the shit by myself, while they play xbox 360. I do that so I can get some peace and quite. When they are occupied, they leave me alone!! See, it all works out for the best, in my own warped mind!
