Setting - March 2006
During tax season, I had several situations thrust upon ME as an Office Manager for a local seasonal office of a tax and accounting firm. These would not come one at a time, but several concurrently, making the job far from boring. Anything and everything from client care issues, to scheduling of employees, to workplace issues, to training, to District Management ad hoc requests. I would, on more than one such occasion say that there is too much turmoil that comes with this job. And having said that, would then go to work, assigning priority to the tasks at hand, delegating those that can be done by subordinates and personally handling those that required the attention of the manager.
Fun stuff.
Makes for long days that turn into longer nights. I would be exhausted at the end of the day, but content that a lot had been accomplished.
[Just a little turmoil to see if I am paying attention.]
Departure
In the relative calm of this hectic professional life, actually in the middle of tax season, comes the departure of one of this Leather Family.
