The Hiring Manger 3

"Good morning Leah. How are you?" Bryan asked me like always.

"Oh, I'm still breathing. How are you?"

"Just peachy. How is your grandma?"

"Still bad. No changes though."

"Let me know if you hear anything. If you need to go home just tell me alright?"

"Will do sir. Did you accept any of those people I told you about yesterday?"

"Yes, they are all approved. I need you to call them and schedule a day for them to come in."

"Alrighty, will do. Thank you!"

I looked at my email and I had 65 new referral emails. Some of them were from jail though. Those are always hard.

Is Michelle not doing her fucking job?

Michelle has always had a thing for me. Not so much the same way.

I went to print all of the referrals, heading towards the printer to get them off of the machine.

I got back down to my desk organizing the papers. Before I called the new referrals in, I went ahead and looked up the ones that got accepted to give them a call.

Before I picked up the phone here she came walking over towards my desk.

"Hey buddy."

"Hi."

"Are you okay?"

"Busy."

"I didn't ask what you were doing I asked how you were doing."

"I said busy." I picked up the phone dialing the number pressing it against my ear.

I called all 6 of those referrals from yesterday and 3 out of the 6 had to have acceptance letters. So I had to type those up and send them out. I even called 16 out of those other 65 referrals.

I don't know what is going on. We have never had that many referrals come in at one time. Apparently someone here isn't doing their job.

In between those calls I got a text message from Julia telling me to come over for lunch. Again, I never responded. It was a one time thing with her, what does she not understand? Did I fuck her so good that she wants more? I can't help that her husband can't give her what I can.

So I laid back in my chair and sighed. I need something to drink. I got up and went in the kitchen that we have grabbing a water.

"Do you want to tell me how 65 referrals got sent to me in less than 24 hours?" I asked Michelle when I seen her.

"No, I don't know how or why."

"Bull shit. You know damn well why and how. You aren't doing your damn job are you?"

"I am doing my job, Leah. You don't know what the hell you are talking about. It is your job to help me with referrals."

"No, bitch you got it all wrong. You are the intake coordinator, I am the directors assistant. I don't work for you, you aren't my boss. I shouldn't be helping you with shit. I have 49 fucking referrals left because you don't know how to pick up the pace. Your ass is lucky I don't report you."

As soon as I left the kitchen, Julia was right there in the printer room. She looked at me and I looked at her rolling my eyes before walking back to my work desk.

Julia: *Hey, come to my office.*

I put my phone off to the side. I picked up another referral calling them.
