Ahhh, my first day at work...what a rush, WHAT. A. RUSH!
I know what you're thinking, what could I, [insert name] be possibly hired for....
well it's a mind blower...wait for it.... RECEPTIONIST... no wait.... SECRETARY.... okay no.... RECEPTIONIST!!!
Yes people upon very high demand for a skilled, witty personality i was of the selected few... Out of all the people in the world, yes me.
How the conversation started:
The Father: you know we don't have a receptionist at the new office. why don't you come and work for us.
Had it not been for us being in the car i probably would have tipped over on my chair. i have been battling boredom for the past weeks and then this is when he is offering it...shame shame...either way I'm on board.
A very excited Me: yes! why not? Really?
The Father: um...
Well....what happened to the faith.... just as a response of today's um... success... = :-p
So while i was seated there, working hard i.e surfing the web, i learnt a few things, very FEW important things:
1. If you arrive at work late...eh...okay
2. By ten o'clock, even if you ate a heavy meal, that don't matter, your stomach will be singing like the mad hatter Oh Boy! i didn't know where i was going with that!!!
3. Not everyone who comes into the office is a thief in fact 85% of them are there as patients, 14.99%to fix a computer related problem...except the drug reps and the mama who tried to sell me a electric shaver not just offering me one but she said i needed two...at which point i replied in my head but through my eyes, "I WILL CUT YOU!"
...my point is, stop holding your phone as if it's going to walk away...but history tells my reasons
4. You're lunch hour is a hoax it was created to mock you.
5. What happened to the afternoon?
6. You are responsible for a lot of money that you will not see LIKE SOON.
7. Make sure that at no point is the patient helping you with your work...at least make sure the number goes below five next time.
8. You will quickly learn what we call Facebook-Twitter stalking due to unlimited access to Internet...
9. The Internet will fail...but don't worry there are probably 100000000000 people in an IT related field called Ben who will help you, you just have to guess the right one.
10. If you do meet someone who can fix the Internet who is called Ben, make sure his name is not saved under 'Ken the Internet dude' before you ask him what his number is and he sees the phone list. It will get awkward.
I'm just saying apart for the blurry receipt I wrote up, running after that patient to give her her prescription, stamping upside down, almost tripping someone, getting into a small space with a strange guy and wondering where to move, holding in some major gasses....
Yeah apart from that...it was a good day.
I think...after all, i wasn't fired. :-)
