I have to go serve my time to atone for my gratitude at the lack of wildlife sounds in the outer office--it's my turn to do telephone-sitting duty to allow our now solo administrative support person to go eat lunch.
I figure it's worth it, at least as long as everyone gets a turn.
Posted by Terry Oglesby at September 28, 2006 11:44 AMIs your office so 70s that you can't forward the phone out front to your own desk so you could manage the incomings without relocating while somebody else eats?
Posted by: Nate at September 28, 2006 02:44 PMIt's a multiline phone--we have something like 20 different offices on this floor, and we have to have someone be a receptionist in case an actual person comes in the door. It might help if the portion of our department that has an excess amount of admin people would actually deign to loan us one to cover during lunch, but that would make too much sense.
