Lobby Duty

I am covering the phones for our receptionist currently. Just call me Nicole the Great; receptionist extraordinaire. Agnus will be out for a while and they picked me, along with Cole and Lucy to ‘cover the transition’. This really sucks balls. So here I sit, listening to a Paul Harvey wanna be on the radio and wondering why my lunch was cut in half for this crap.

Staring at the useless items that cover this dust ridden mockery of a desk, I wonder how this lady focuses on anything. Then I remember that the only thing she does all day is walk her daughter, Melody (no lie), through recipes, scan claims into the system, and transfer calls; all the while painting her fingernails. I will give it to her for multi-tasking.

The usual items on this desk include a scanner, printer, desk lamp, calculator, stapler, Kleenex (I will need those if I am up here much longer), and plants. These are plain and boring; still they are not in any order or straight. And where the hell are scissors in the place, the one thing I need?

The items that give me a chuckle are: fingernail polish, lip gloss-did I mention she is pushing 60-not that she doesn't deserve to look her best-I just giggle at ladies wearing lip gloss-my grams wore lipstick, a koosh ball, a big ol' fingernail file with half naked babies wearing angel wings and sitting on clouds-ya-how's that for professional, a half full bottle of old ass crusty Elmer's glue-ya that's what I said, a rubber finger tip-HA!, a post-it that says 'The Insider'-I mean really-can you not retain this useful information?(oh right-she is multi-tasking-sorry, Agnus), her personal rolodex-anyone need a hairstylist or CPA?, an envelope moistener-ok that just makes me laugh, a mirror-hehe, 3 bottles of lotion-I am not even going there, and two votive candles-can you even burn candles at work? Why are these things always up here? I mean she has a shit load drawers.

Ok then, I think I will stroll back to my desk now. Out of the public eye where I can sit a box tampons on my desk if I damn well please. I like it there. It is MINE!

My personal items:
3 pics
3 cutout pics
3 bears, an elephant, a pig
a magnetic paperclip stilleto
a decoration that says Drama Queen

a candy bowl(skittles-taste the rainbow)

a bamboo with 3 stalks

A vast majority of these things were gifts, MY FRIENDS ROCK!

Side note:I may leave her a post-it up there next time.
"Agnus, may I borrow your polish sometime?"
