The current employee was originally hired as a runner, but moved up the ladder of success by taking the job as receptionist after the previous person moved on. She's a young woman with a killer body so the clients (especially the men) enjoy coming in for various reasons. This position (pardon the pun) is not just to sit and look pretty, which she could do with great success. There are many responsibilities that require a little bit of knowledge--such as jotting down a name and a telephone number with accuracy. Some time ago, she sheepishly asked me--I shit you not--"How do you spell tire?" I tried to figure out what word she could possibly be trying to spell. Did I not hear her correctly? Is she interested in the British version of a round rubber object? Nope...she hadn't a clue how to spell T-I-R-E. In this day and age, how can a person graduate from high school without know how to spell a simple first grade word? I think that this child was left behind...way behind.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23320477-114177311930578404?l=ramblingsofthelegalravensofthenorth.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ravenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16041604180459101383noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23320477.post-1141350475628816552006-03-02T17:37:00.000-08:002006-03-02T17:48:45.560-08:00How can an office lose 800 letter sized file folders? I work at a small lawfirm and I run into some pretty disfunctional situations considering that most normal folks think that you have to have a brain to do this work. Not so...and through time, I'll explain in more detail some of the events that I have witnessed, been a part of, and have left me with my jaw on the floor.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23320477-114135047562881655?l=ramblingsofthelegalravensofthenorth.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ravenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16041604180459101383noreply@blogger.com0
