Occasionally at work they will make you do menial things, I believe that all my friends are low enough on the totem pole to have experienced this, and then there are things that are an absolute waste of time. Not for the company, but for the pay rate they pay you (especially when you are already getting 7 hours overtime this week), and the job they are getting. For example: this morning I have AGAIN been attached to the front desk. I would like to stress that I have so many more important things to do they are innumerable, and yet here I am answering the phones. It is important, the phones do need to be answered. But do they need someone who's supposed to be visiting classes and annoucing the Career Fair and checking resumes and auditing graduate files for the upcoming Education Department audit to be doing this?? That is my point...
Although everybody else is doing important things too, perhaps I am doing the least important of the important tasks - and this illustrates why you hire a receptionist who is reliable and shows up to work. Which, I am happy to announce, we may be getting soon!
This is my day, and I love my work... and I don't mind being the receptionist (actually)... but can't they choose me on a day when I don't have too many important things to do?? That would be great, especially since I do like updating my blog and playing diamond mine while being paid occasionally... hehehe
