Normally I am used to the fast paced, constant moving of New York city and its professional industries; however, this week has seemed to be almost too much to handle and it was only four work days total! My Mailroom Man has been out all week so to save the company temp employee dollars, I decided to cover his job duties for four short 8 hour days. I have done this quite a bit in the past and not really been too frazled or stressed. This week is different. I feel like I am running around all over the office to take care of random things like moving boxes of dishes, ordering paper, distributing the mail, etc. I didn't realize how much I rely on Mailroom Man to do the menial tasks that I so graciously volunteered to handle. The other problem is that I have been coming in over an hour early to cover reception while getting less sleep than usual because of my addiction to the US Open.
I will be thrilled, ecstatic, grateful and appreciative when I give the reins of the mailroom and errands back to him on Monday. This weekend I feel like I need to sleep for 20 hours to recover my nerves of steel and smiling countenance because if one more person asks me to do something random, I might just tell them "hell no."
