I'm getting paid to do what?

Seriously, what are they paying me for? My boss tells me that I have to answer the phone and keep people informed of what's going on. This to me sounds more like, "We don't really have a job for you to do that is productive and career enhancing so we are going to stick you behind this desk to answer the phone because we are too lazy to answer our own phone and we have all calls come through you. And because you are at this desk everyone is going to think you know everything when you don't really know anything because you don't really have a job." The best part of all is that I get to do it 12 hours a day. Yippee! Even on the weekends. Whatever. I'm not a customer service type of person. I'm more hands on. I'd much rather be fixing the things people call me to complain are broken. I need a break. I'm taking a vacation the week after next then I'm going to make a few personal appointments. I mean there are like six other people in my office who can answer their own darn phone for once. I'm going to get paid regardless. Well I guess I've griped enough for one day. I hope everyone is well.
