“A voice once stentorian is now again meek and muffled…”And now we move on to the second day. More phone work and the first inklings of the level of organization (or, in some cases, the lack thereof) in client services.

“And you’re wonderin’ whose bright idea it was to pack your things and leave your friends and move down here…”Well, this is quite the exciting time for me.
