V.I.P.

That’s a very important package that you’re about to hand over to me. I know, because you told me that repeatedly about 5 times now. I get it. I really do. Everyone that comes in has a very important package. The 4 people that came in ahead of you and the 3 people to come in after. All important packages. Will I what? Will I make sure Mrs. Whosywhatsit receives it? I sure will. I’m going to date stamp it and everything! Yep, that’s what I do here at the front desk. Take calls, direct people to the bathroom, get them coffee, tell them that Sure! They can have a Tootsie Pop and last,but most importantly, I make sure those very important packages make it down the hall to mail room. What do you think I do with them? No, really, I’m asking. I’m just sitting here tapping my fingers and waiting for an answer.

All work & no play......


80 hours a week. 3 years. But I bought a little house this week of my very own. I can paint the walls and decorate it just as I like it. I am SO STOKED!! Can't wait to move in and get started and leave behind my apartment with it's noisy neighbors, gunshots and overturned grocery carts lining the street. Yeah!! So excited!!

All my hours of answering phones and waiting tables are finally paying off. Now to save up for Italy!!

80 hours per week of anything can't be fun....

Okay, the world of reception has lost its luster. Lost it after 2 weeks, but that's neither here nor there. This is the year I turn 40 (you should now be thinking I don't look anywhere near 40!), so I've decided to turn my focus from paying off all debt and settling down to having a life filled with adventure and excitement. I figure I'll meet someone in the midst of all this wonderful chaos and we'll go from there! So, I am now getting ready to attend shoemaking school in Italy. I'm learning Italian and getting ready to eat fabulous Italian food, flirt with Italian men and leave behind my boring phone-answering, coffee-getting existence behind!!
