Isn't that illegal?

Me- So, the new phone system you guys installed keeps thinking that the doctor's pages are incoming calls from patients and sometimes they can't get through when all the lines are filled.. or we end up putting them on hold. You might want to have someone look into this.
Office Manager- Or you could just take the calls.
Me- We.. can't. There's only three lines and sometimes only one person manning the desk. One person can't be on all three lines AND check people in and out for their appointments.
Office Manager- You'll just have pay more attention. Get the billing department to help. (Her answer to everything)
Later...
Office Manager- So, the billing department has been complaining about taking your calls. If you need backup, ask me before them.
Later still...
Office Manager- I can't help you with the phones right now. Can you have them take a message? (Then she wanders into the kitchen area and has a great time chatting with the medical assistants)
This from the same woman who didn't order scotch tape from the office after being reminded about it all the way back in June. Three times. We have carbon copied messages with the dates because she does this all the time..but no tape. Bet you anythng, this is going to somehow be my fault.

Last trip I went via London directly to Bournemouth, no stopping, to get to know the students a little before returning to the big city for some sightseeing and shopping later. Company policy, one leader per approximately 15 students. Last trip I had 18 of my own, working closely with another leader with 13 and everything went swimmingly. We didn't have much trouble at all.
This trip, I'm flying by Paris (three days for shopping and sightseeing, including EuroDisney), which is one of the most hectic stops for leaders, because little time, much to see, not much organized and you don't know the students well enough because it's the first stop of the trip.
This trip I have 31 students on my own, because the leader I'm supposed to be working with won't join me until we reach Jersey Island. With me I have two other leaders with 17 and 19 students in their respective groups.
Company policy dictates no student may be left alone, so when 60 of our 67 students go to Disney, one leader has to remain behind, baby-sitting 7 students, while the other two takes the rest by train to the Park, spends the day trying not to lose anyone, hoping nothing goes wrong with any one student, since that would leave one leader in charge of 59 students alone for the trainride back to Paris.
If I get up in the night to go to the bathroom I will have multiple joints popping with every single step. It's annoying and obnoxious when you're trying to be quiet. It must be a genetic thing or something because my brother does the exact same thing yet my husband doesn't - I can tell which one of them is walking down the hallway by that alone.
