since then

So it's been about a month since the fire and I haven't had any breakdowns or anything. I started work again, and so far it has been good. I work in the corporate office, and at first I was sitting at this girl's desk who was on vacation. I was helping contact the tenants from the North side and get them their refund checks back and what not. I felt like I had missed so much being gone, and at fist being at corporate was a little weird, but I am now used to it.
Eventually though, Dan, the owner, decided that he didn't want me working with the tenants as much, he thought it would be too emotional for me or whatever. Which I appreciate his thought, but what else was I supposed to do? Those were my tenants. I care about them, well most of them. And I wanted to help. I still had the chance to help them. But most of my 8 hour days here were filled with staring at the computer and praying for someone to email me cause I was so bored. Normally I would have jo-jacked around the internet, but the desk I was sitting at was right by the bosses offices, so if they were to walk out of the office, they could see my computer screen.
Now, however, I am sitting in the front. Alone. I stare at the door, but at least they can't see my screen before I know they're coming. +
Sitting here though, there was no music. Until, i decided that my ipod headphones were loud enough for me to hear, and quiet enough for it to not be obnoxious. So that's what I have been doing. Nothing really. I am bored, and a little upset that I have been reduced to a secretary. Being a secretary is fine for some people, but not for me. The phone has been ringing so much, it is the most annoying thing ever. And I am now the one is in charge of answering it. It freakin sucks.
That's it really. I will write about new years and Christmas later.
