Egad, it's been Monday all day

Four interviews in less than four hours this morning. They just wouldn't stop coming in! The letter I send says "Please call before you come in so we can schedule a time." Hah. This morning, one showed up at 9:15 and waited for 45 minutes while I took care of my 9:00 appointment. I had no sooner brought the walk-in back to my desk when another showed, and then another. No lunch for me until nearly 1:00 p.m. And while all this is going on, my extension never stopped ringing. The same woman must have called me every five minutes for nearly three hours -- I had umpteen hangups on my voice mail. When I finally was able to pick up the phone, she said "I've been calling and calling! Don't you answer your phone?" Not when I'm busy, lady, get over it. That's why God invented voicemail.

Ah, the joys of being a public servant. (Insert obligatory "I'm grateful for my job because I can pay the bills" statement here.)

By the way, I received my ten-year service pin and certificate last week. The certificate is now proudly displayed on my desk and the pin resides in my jewelry box. Amazing. I never imagined I'd work for the same employer this many years. *beam*

I have established a new house rule.

If it isn't in the dirty clothes hamper, it doesn't get washed.

I wonder how long it will take spouse to run out of clean shirts and underwear.

I guess I should tell him the new rule when he gets home from work.
Or not.
