mrs_ladybirdGood Lord that was a long day at work!!
I'd like to crawl into bed and sleep for a week, but unfortunately I have to do it all again tomorrow, with a little less of the stress though.
- The voicemail is up and running again.
- There is toner for the fax machine and the backlog has been cleared.
- The "rush" data entry job I was working on has been printed, copied, bound and sent.
So that leaves a nice relaxing (*fingers crossed*) day for tomorrow. As much as I complian, I really like working reception! I wish the permanent receptionist would go on permanent vacation. As it stands right now I'm just on there for this week. It keeps me so busy (usually not as insanely busy as it was today) with always something going on and someone to talk to.
Working as just an admin assistant (which is the position I was hired for) runs the risk of getting stuck with crappy work such as filing, archiving in the dusty basement and other basic gopher work which the receptionist successfully manages to avoid.
So I made a life realisation today. I always knew that this job was not going to be the place where I worked the rest of my life. I don't want to be travelling to downtown Toronto to work a 40hr. week once I have a family. I have decided that I would like to work for some local (local to wherever I happen to be living at the time) company working as a receptionist. Yeah. Something where I might have the option of flexible hours or job sharing so I can have a job and not feel like I'm abandoning my family. Might not be much of a goal to some people, but it's what I see myself being happy doing, and isn't that what's really important in the end? Thank you.
