Am I doubling as a babysitter?

So today, after some heavy duty lamaze practicing (I think because the phone was ringing again, I'm not really sure) my secretary asked me if I felt like taking a trip to the closet. Well, the honest answer is no, certainly not, but I know that's her way of telling me she doesn't want to go alone. Is it creepy you ask? No - it is a supply closet about 100 ft down the hall, about 10 ft away from the lunch room that she goes to every day, yet she can't walk there by herself, so I always have to go along for the ride. Like I don't have anything better to do. And like you're not almost 40.

Also yesterday was a riveting day of teaching how to "freeze panes" in excel. For like the 4th time. And I need an electronic copy of something (that is decidedly incorrect anyway) but before she can send it this woman needs to find someone that can show her how to attach the document to an email...so she said she will try to do it today. Seriously? Why are we still at this point? I understand technology takes some time to adapt to but...come on...

ohhhh technology

So today I look over a shoulder and see an email addressed to aasa.org --- obviously sending to no avail. Certainly not for a lack of trying though!! I think she tried to resend it like 3 times before deciding that was the wrong address...
