more adventures in working with the world's worst employee

this was the task that lay before me

on thursday i filed about 160 folders. it took about 2 hours. said folder-filing is my sister's job. especially during tax season.

let me further explain.

during tax season, my sister actually has work to do. (as opposed to the other 8 months of the year when she has, oh, nothing to do.) during tax season, her two jobs are as follows: assemble tax returns and file the client folders once their returns have been signed and picked up/sent.

what i have failed to realize (sarcasm? lilbit.) is that she also believes she has two jobs to do: one being the assembling, the other being socializing.

who knew.

so, when i kindly asked her to make time each day to keep up with filing (160 folders do not magically appear overnight) she informed me that she didn't have enough time to file.

hm.

so, when she left i alphabetized and filed. and i let the boss know that i was doing that. so he could know, even though he'd never do anything about it, that she is seriously falling behind in the time management dept.

and i like alphabetizing. and i like filing. i mean, not more than i like frozen yogurt. but, it's not like i needed to drink away my sorrows afterward.

it was all i could do not to keel over laughing when she told me she was too busy to file. i kept thinking, you have time to chat, myspace, AND text. but not file.

rough life.

in other news, it is a romantically cloudy day outside and i am enjoying every minute of it from the warmth of my home. in pajamas. in love. i'm going to make some belated easter cards today (why can i never plan ahead?!) and drink some wine (later this afternoon...not for breakfast...don't worry). part of me wants to be a recluse on the weekends and the other part wants to be surrounded by friends. every weekend i feel the same pull in different directions. oh, what to do.

i got some new stamps and inkpads and am going to have a mini-party making cards for my friends. if you want to join me, give me a call! :)

(p.s. is there anything better than new stamps and new inkpads in the prettiest colors you've ever seen? i am excited...in, possibly, the dorkiest way ever.)
