life can't be without lemons

I'm sad to report that shit has really hit the fan at work. The workhorse office manager of the company got tired of being overworked, underpaid and constantly yelled at by clients and the owner so he walked out yesterday. He's not coming back.

I do most of the phone answering, computer modeling and running around but haven't done much of the billing. I haven't been in the professional working world for long but I think getting paid is a necessary component of running any business.

I'm not worried about myself getting paid so much (in the short term) as I don't cost them a lot compared to the big expenses of the company but it's only a matter of time before everything falls apart. I just really hope the owner doesn't expect me to train the person meant to fill the large shoes left behind by the office manager. I don't have the knowledge base to do it.

Fortunately, the office manager and the lead designer here have really taken a liking to me and have said not to worry about my income as I will either get a good raise here for taking on more responsibility or I will go off with one of them.

Even still, if that doesn't pan out there seem to be lots of jobs on craigslist.

Let's hope for the best.

I will close with a fitting quote from a good friend:

"Long live the adventure!" - Drew Bixby
