Who put you in charge?

You can only be young once. But you can always be immature. ~Dave Barry So, this was my big free day to do whatever I wanted. Possibly the last one of the semester. I don’t have any classes, and after my shift in the admissions office I was free from noon to 6. But Christy’s son got sick this morning and she had to run out and take him to the hospital. This left the office practically empty because all of the admissions counselors are out at college fairs around the country. So Courtney asked me to stay the rest of the day. So my 2 hour shift turned into 6. But hey, who am I to complain about getting paid more? Staying in the office all day allows for the opportunity to speak with all sorts of people. Young and old, those you think are young but are old, and those you think are old but are young. People call and ask for counselors who don’t exist and high school advisors call insisting that the person who doesn’t exist made an appointment for their school function. Many people call requesting applications. Some call demanding them. I have to admit to far too many people that I don’t actually know anything. “I’m sorry, but I’m just the phone assistant and all of our counselors are gone. Could you call back tomorrow?” and get the hell off my case? Ah well, such is life, and it’s more entertaining than miserable. So I come out on top.
