So Much for Vacation...
Well, it's official. Our receptionist quit today, as she got the job she had applied for. I was not a happy camper, to say the least, although it is a good move for her, and I'm glad for her sake.
However, her leaving means that I will not be able to go on vacation again (just like last year), as it will take a few months to get a new person trained and up to speed so that she or he can cover for me. I had just gotten the one we have now almost at the point where she could take over, so I'm not thrilled about having to do this all over again. Mind you, I'll be pushing the training big time, and the new person will be well aware of that before they agree to taking the position. Still, it's going to be a long haul, so I'm not pleased.
The internet hook up went without a hitch, thank goodness. So we're back up and running with that. The locksmith changed the locks today, so that's done. And the janitor has been selected and will start on the weekend. So at least all of that is out of my hair now.
Not much else to report - I'm just going to go eat my pizza, groom my dogs, and wallow in self-pity over the loss of our receptionist...

I just heard one of the doggies yelp down there, and I was thinking "I wonder if she's grooming them?" LMAO!!
Okay now to serious biz....I'm not happy that you can't get holidays soon, as it's been too long that you've been there without regular ones. I think she should be asked to stay and help train someone first. That does happen, although you'd have to have someone hired and starting there within a few days, as I assume she's leaving in 2 weeks?? OY. I wish it were different Pam.... even when I worked in that small office before I started at AMA ~ I was the only one there, but the guys just damn well made do themselves whenever I was on holidays or away (like when Gary passed away). They should be able to stand on their own enough for you to take your LEGAL holidays every year!!
I know what you're gonna say.... so WHADDEVAH! **sticks tongue out** LOL
