Don\'t tell me what to do!

I am so tired of people telling me what to do.  I think being an assistant is a job that one can only do for a few years of their life.  I have no clue how people do it for their entire “career”.  I will be very happy to have no one telling me what to do other than a screaming baby who will not so much tell me what to do as scream until I do her bidding.  That’s okay with me.  At least she’s not an obnoxious, rich white man.  I’m so tired of:

boss:  the accountant said that his rep would be calling us to set up a meeting for wednesday, but i see you scheduled one for thursday afternoon.
me:  yes, the rep sent email saying that he wanted to do the meeting at 1:30 on thursday
boss:  well, he has a phone number, can you call to confirm?

So I have to call and leave a message.  I like to do the bare minimum to get by as far as work, especially lately.  And I keep setting the bare minimum bar lower and lower daily.  Ah, only 3 months, 13 days and 8 hours left until maternity leave.  But who’s counting?
