Random Work-related Stuff...

So... there's a hardscape supply shop (several locations) that has a very similar name to our business, but apparently they are not in the phone book. Any of them. In any phone book. If I had a dollar for every phone call we got for them, I would not have to work here anymore. Finally got my brain in gear earlier this year and printed out a list of their locations/phone numbers so I could actually help these people, but for heavens sakes... look at the number and name of business you are actually calling, and don't get upset at me when we're not who you want us to be (that has only happened twice...).

Fell asleep at my desk after lunch, too. Whoops. Woke up when the heater kicked on and the phone rang (another wrong number...), after about 15 minutes. Thank goodness I'm alone in the office, but it was a rather nice nap. The heat works really well here when it's on, but this place gets cold fast...

All of this is making it very difficult to write about birch trees, but I shall continue to give it my best shot. Only an hour and a half to go before I get to jump in the truck and pick up the boss, who is pushing back snowbanks in the loader, far, far away from me here. This is good. I can make it.
