Something in The Air?

I'm almost done working at The Law Firm! I'm really excited because then I have a week vacation, but I'm a little sad because I was just getting to know some of the people. I even got used to the phones!

Since I'm a serial shopper and suffering from a severe case of shopping addiction, I had bought myself a new work wardrobe. High waisted pants (3), brown pants (2) and a couple of blouses. To be fair, I had to look professional didn't I? Since I work at Le Chateau, I bought everything there and got it half off, plus I can wear these outfits to work so I'm getting my bang for my buck. (Yes, I'm trying to convince and justify my shopping). Anyways, I do love fashion and I have a pretty good sense of style. At The Law Firm, I always get compliments from both the lawyers/secretaries and the clients that come in. Dressing well really makes it easier for you to interact with others; it's sad but true. I guess that's partially one of the main reason's I'm so addicted to shopping; I know that people constantly judge me based on my apparence and I want to make a good impression. Yes, I know, they should like me for me but we all know that's not going to happen.

Anyways I happen to have a very soft and young sounding voice. I'll get either the "you sound like you're 5 comment" or the "you should work at an 1800- number". Guys- this is not a compliment! One of the lawyer's clients keeps calling me just to hear my voice. It's totally creepy! At first I would just kind of giggle and try to rush him off the phone, but lately he's been calling in the morning saying stupidities like, ohhh you're beautiful voice! I just can't stand it it gives me goosebumps! You always start off my morning so wonderfully.. blah blah. It would be relatively cute if he wasn't some 40 something year old with a thick heavy accent. Besides, I'm at work and although I have mastered the telephone by now, I can't stay on for too long since I get about 50 other calls per minute!

He had a meeting with his lawyer and showed up while I was out to lunch...with flowers!!!! Thank god I wasn't there! He left while I was at my desk though (my lunch was over) and oh my god.. The look he gave me was so terrifying! The phone rang right when he was walking out the door and I had to answer so he heard my voice. At the sound of it, he turned slowly and this creepy eerie smile spread over his face. It was like those killers in horror movies, when they finally find their prey right as they were about to give up. Totally freaked me out. My aunt came to the rescue though and I hid in the back.

He came back with more flowers!!! God I was so thankful when he finally left!

A lot of callers (clients) have told either my aunt or The Blonde Bombshell that it's too bad I'm not the real secretary or I should have this job. It's so flattering!! Even the regular people that come in and out of the office to see The Boss have said it, one even shook my hand saying it was such a pleasure to meet me. Ha! Another lawyer here today said I should stay and I didn't have to go school (yeah right). I feel so touched, but kinda bad for The Vacation Diva, since it is her job after all.

A couple more hours and then finished!!! I have to go to work at Le Chateau tonight which means it's a 9-9 day, but it's okies. More money for me! (which means, more shopping). By the way, The Player hasn't called or messaged me or anything since we last saw each other. He sucks. I suck. Urg.

I was thinking of maybe messaging The Jew, or calling him this weekend. Not to hang out or anything, just to talk. He starts school on Monday and I figured I'll wish him luck or whatever. It's a bad idea right? I probably shouldn't even bother getting involved in that whole drama again but I feel bad since he called me twice and I never returned his calls. What to do?
