Oh My Fucking God

[maderr]

So way way way back when I first came home, I applied to the local school district to be a substitute teacher. Never heard back, and eventually I went back to the pizza place.

Get a letter today from the school, a thin little envelope that in my mind screams "rejection." I'm thinking "well that took for freakin' ever." Open it up:

Dear Ms. Derr,

Your application for substitute reaching has been approaved. We would like to place you on the substitute teacher list for the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District.

*does a happy dance*

Definitely your fault. My inbox went "starparty, starpary,.....someone else, staryparyt....," Clearly you didn't have enough to do at work today.

oh no see the thing is that I had PLENTY to do at work today. I was just stuck at the switchboard and couldn't do them. It's so maddening to know you've got piles of work waiting for you in your office that you can't do anything about until you get done answering the phones..

What is it with businesses and making the chicks in the office handle the switchboard?

I've got another friend who complains of the exact same thing you are, and she adds that the men are never expected to do it, even though many of them actually have the freetime, whereas she's got tons of work waiting for her.

I have no idea. There is actually a policy at Sara Lee that guys are not allowed to answer the phones. It was a hassle to work around it >_<

Yep. Guys are never expected to do it. It's really frustrating!

Frickin' men. What's so difficult about a phone? Even at LC they don't know what they're doing.

well duh. phones are scary. and men are stupid.

[maderr.livejournal.com]

phones = hate. Honestly, the sound I despise most in the world is the sound of a phone. Any phone.

Men are good for amusement, not much else (most of them anyway)

yeah phones are a major hassle.

Sadly that's true..
