 But Im not even supposed to BE here today

You know in Clerks when all that bad stuff happens and all Dante keeps saying is "but Im not even supposed to BE here today!" Yeah I know that feeling.

Ok so I guess Im supposed to be here, but Im not supposed to be HERE. Im doing a job that's not MY job because Im on injured reserve. And yesterday I was off as you all know if you read yesterday's post. Well I get in today and get slammed with people telling me how much they missed me. But no, they did not miss ME, they missed the job I do. Which isnt my job. And I just want to say "But Im not even supposed to BE here!" So when I get off injured reserve and go back to my real job, are people going to give me crap for not doing not my job?

I confess I truly hate doing not my job. I deal with stupid phone calls that arent anything I have anything to do with. But saying "But Im not even supposed to BE here" wouldnt cut it. I think I say the phrase "that's all done through centralized scheduling at x3419 now, let me transfer you" at least 60 times in one day. And, "no, you havent reached PVL, they are at 3109, let me transfer you", and "nope, this isnt EKG, that's 2290, let me transfer you" about 45 times a day each. I tell these people what the right number is thinking theyll call that next time, but they dont. Why, when I can be a switchboard for them? BUT IM NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!

So I need to take time off tomorrow and have already been given "but we'll miss you, we NEED you!" Um, but it's not my job and IM NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!
