Reception

For the morning of today i had to be the receptionist and showroom host. All qualities most would need for this job title do not lie within me, as proven today. I completely embarrassed myself infront of the big boss and embarrassed the brand, i had no idea how to work a switchboard telephone and managed to hang up on various clients. The only reason this is my current job role is because the last receptionist left with no warning and i am sharing the role with fellow interns. I enjoy greeting clients into the showroom and offering beverages etc.

At the same time as this i am also uploading info into Sage, the database. terribly mind-numbing and usually need 2 seconds before picking up the phone to put my mind straight. Other than this my day has been alright, being on reception means that i can greet the employees and they have to greet me back, even though gritted teeth! (sometimes just a mere filthy look, sometimes with no look at all) either way i feel fortuitous that the chance has arisen where i can easily talk to others.

Anyway, even if i was crap at answering phones and stuff.. it is my job for tomorrow morning too.
