GRRRRRRR!

My pre New Years resolution is not to answer the phone at all when I am working for ANYONE other than for the school in case it is kid-related. My dad calls me everyday... many many times a day.  I have told him repeatedly that answering the phone even once during my shift equals loss of $$.  He just doesn't get it. Today I tried my new plan... the phone rang and rang and rang today. I just let it go. My production was pretty good, but more than that I felt like I wasn't playing catch up to interruptions. I just had a nice steady thing going.

So tonight after work I listened to the messages and returned calls. Can you believe that my dad was ticked off b/c I didn't answer the phone! Oh I am just feeling a little frustrated at the whole thing. I once again explained the situation to him (nicely I might add)... but do I continue with my new goal of not answering the phone or do I give in to make everyone else happy?

This doctor is particularly annoying in that while she is looking for information, she repeats the last word she just said.  Add to that her nasally voice and I am ready to rip my hair out!

Lab reports revealed that...that...that...that...that...
