Today, DS needed me again. She was attending a funeral and had to be out of the office for a few hours. In addition to get tax documents ready to be shipped, I answered the phone while she was not in the office. It was actually fun! It was fun enough to say, "DS Tax Service. How can I help you?" And I took callers' messages and rescheduled their appointments. I'm not a patient person, so I don't think I can keep doing this kind of work forever, but it gave me a great pastime away from teaching and dealing with irresponsible students.
