Caught within the Web

Dear friends, readers, and sympathizers, things are drastically getting worse at everyones favorite non-profit. Our humble observers careful attention to detail have resulted in his "promotion". No longer is he in charge of inter-office memos regarding meetings and letters of correspondence, but he is now engaged in the more immediate and pressing matters of email creation and processing. He is even to be given folders of importance, and trusted to open the CEO's mail, possibly even copying invitations to the many prestigious events the CEO is forced to decline for previous commitments. Even worse, directly assitance to the executive assistanct will be expected regarding meeting scheduling and information exchanges.

A young professional has been interviewed for the position of Transcriber our faithful narrator recently regretfully declined. Yours truly bit his tongue when meeting and exchanging in idle chit-chat with the candidate. Today is not a good day for public service work apparently.

Big Momma has been missing in action for the majority of the day. On many occasions, this productive and work-hungry employee has wandered to her office in search of important documents to proofread and send, only to find an empty desk. Usually this discovery has encouraged and inspired this humble observer to take a walk outside, possibly engaging in some mood enhancement via breathing exercises.

The new position next week will find our faithful narrator sharing an office with another executive assistant. While an improvement from the empty vacant hallway/room he shares with eager interns and office conversationalists, his current concern is the discovery of any of his many procrastinatory indulgences.

Tune in for the continued adventures, including the rise, and almost definete fall, of this Plucky Young Lad, coming to you directly from the source.
