Telephone Duty

My boss has been on vacation for over a week. He'll be back at work on Tuesday. Whenever he's away, I have the glorious privilige (can you detect the sarcasm?) of covering the telephones after hours and on weekends. This past weekend was my weekend off, but with all the phone calls, 2 death calls on Sunday morning, follow up calls, etc., I haven't been able to relax very much. Between 6:30 am and 6:30 pm today I fielded 14 incoming phone calls. That's only the incoming; I had to place about 8 outgoing phone calls in order to handle everything that came up today. I'll be glad when my boss gets back; as much as I like it when he's gone, I hate these blasted phones.
