This is my first time ever blogging at home, let alone on a Saturday. I have a feeling that the weekends might be the only times I can blog from now on. My assistant has left me for another better paying job (which I don't blame her for doing so), and senior management has yet to confirm if they will ever find me a replacement. Meanwhile, her workload has suddenly shifted onto my lap. Her responsibilities consist mostly of the not-so-likable grunt work -- so I find myself yesterday on a Friday afternoon -- formatting Excel spreadsheets and running reports. It was definitely not fun.
