Things tend to get a little hectic at work during July and August, as illustrated by the latest response to me trying to transfer a call to a coworker: 'well is it *really* for me?' Alas, I am not psychic. I do not know whether the person asking for my coworker has in fact mistaken her for someone else with the same name and job title. But, even if I did know, I wouldn't really care. It is not, fortunately, part of my job to screen people's calls. I am nobody's secretary. And if said coworker tries this sort of stalling tactic again I will gently point this out to her, along with the fact that she is not the only one who is bloody busy, thank you very much.Tags: work gripes 15:48 . . .
RIP Bob Smithies, aka Bunthorne. I could hardly ever complete his Guardian crosswords, but his clues were hilarious, elegant and brilliant.Tags: crosswords 10:18 . . .
