Today I began my summer-long stint at Steffan and Company, Inc. (their blog). The summer will be filled with answering phones, calling references, maybe even recruiting doctors. Once I figure out the phone system, I might be able to go tan by the pool during work hours.
Unfortunately, there is a slightly more somber aspect of my employment during the next few months; my boss's mother is currently upstairs. She's dying. Don't ask for the specifics, I don't know them. But I do know that this has been apparently a long time coming, and that Brian needs all the help he can get in dealing with this. I will be helping to sell his mother's estate, as well as creating scrapbooks and such for memory purposes.
It's a sad, sad day when anyone dies. It hits home the hardest, however, when you are close to the dearly departed. But if you are not, don't think that your job is done! I may not be the best at comforting those who may be grieving, but I do know that I am damn good at my job and can help Brian out by keeping his business life under control so that when he is up to coming back to work, he doesn't have to force his way into organization. That is my job.
