Mid Week Post Well, a little flu bug has been going around and today it has sidelined half our sales force. That's just super. No money coming in is a bad thing. But actually for me it means fewer orders to process so there's a reduction in work load and that's a good thing. Weird. Anyway, the girl that has infected everyone is here today, she was sick yesterday but decided to "rough it out" and come to work anyways. While I applaud this work ethic it is a terrible idea in that she has passed around what was previously contained solely to her. One person missing a few days is much better than them insisting on coming to work only to take down more members of the office subsequently. I am not sick as of this posting, but who is to say? If I get sick I will be very mad at this girl. On a side note she says that she is feeling better today and thinks that it was only a 24-hour thing. We'll see.

Still out of the office is the renaissance man of fixing everything: our Director of Special Projects. I love that title. It might as well read: Director of Miscellany. Anyway, this guy is still out of town and he's been gone since before the NY show. He was the one who had to drive the van there (Special Project? Sounds like it ...). With him gone it means that the printers don't get fixed when they foul up and one of the scanners is down too. What is it with this place? The whole thing feels like it is going to ruins sometimes.

There's also an "Unavailable" number that keeps calling me. Who are you, mysterious Unavailable? I made this policy a long while back of not answering "Unavailable" or "Restricted" IDs on my private line. If its so important they'll leave a message. If its a call I am expecting I'll pick up. Still, my curiosity does grab me, as this Unavailable has been calling all week. But why won't they leave me a message? That's shady and I'm not having anything to do with shadiness.
