Recently my hours have been severely cut at work. I work for a big corporation that prepares taxes and they might do some other stuff too. They say the 'entire district is low' and they can't afford to keep their lowest paid employees which are the receptionists unless it gets freakishly busy. The receptionist, the smiling face at the front of the office that answers phones, makes appointments and manages the unruly waiting room monkies. At this point, the tax preparer has to stop what they're doing when the phone rings which irritates the clients they are currently servicing because they are not paying unreasonable amounts of money to have their tax preparer be a receptionist. Thus, they decide to take their taxes elsewhere the following year.
I thought that I was skillfully avoiding the shit storm that is our economy because I don't own anything of value, like a home. I was wrong. The shit storm has finally found a way to shit on me.

I personally experienced the H & R block with no receptionist, it sucks! The receptionist is not just a pretty girl that sits at the desk and works on her blog for hours and occasionally answers phones, she is a needed buffer between customer and tax preparer. She's crowd control, she keeps that office running smooth and classy and not like some badly managed restaurant on lunch rush! You are needed!
