nishatalithaI keep trying and failing to compose a witty yet sarcastic letter to one of my lawyers regarding his lack of ability to get invoice narrations to me before lunchtime today. I know he's been busy lately with purchasing a restaurant franchise for one of our clients. That does not mean that I want to be gathering WIP and reprinting prebills at 5.00pm on the last day of the month. Especially when he has said that he doesn't have time to check them - oh, isn't it nice to be trusted - and is sure they're fine.
Gah!
Fortunately, the partners seem to have learned their lessons and were around to sign everything off, so once I had the narrations, it went pretty smoothly (apart from the bit where I remembered at the very last minute that we're giving a 10$ discount to one of our clients and had to hastily put that in).
The chair saga continues. Yesterday, a nice man from a manufacturer came in, had a look at my chair and said the only kneeling chairs on the five star castors available was the one that killed my neck when I tried it. They had one that looked comfortable, but was on rollers, so didn't have the side to side mobility that I need.
Today, they brought down a bright red brand new chair with a really bizarre curve to the back (by which I mean the back curved out a lot, very abruptly, and then went back in equally abruptly). I gave it a try, wondered why it had been sent to me and eventually sent it back up as not working for me. Apparently, it was meant to go to someone else.
Currently I'm switching between my kneeling chair and a standard office chair (which is more or less comfortable enough, thank you) in order to train myself to be accustomed to a standard chair at work again. Perhaps I can get my kneeling chair recovered or something. Oh well, I can probably get mine re-upholstered.
Our property manager has handed our tenancy over to her new partner. He's doing nothing wrong. He's even remembering to email all three of us rather than just one, which is a first for our landlords. But. His attitude is such that he's managed to annoy all three of us and the part where he said he had tried to contact us by phone, but couldn't get hold of us, requested all my contact details again, despite having phoned me at work on Monday morning and I had no missed numbers on my cell or desk phone was just FAIL.
Still, Friday tomorrow and dinner out. I'm looking forward to it.
