R U hiring???? LOL
This is a story I heard second-hand, when I came in for an afternoon shift today: Today at work the boss was yelling at one of my fellow receptionists. The crackdown against reading at the desk had returned, which is a shame, because I've been kind of down lately, and reading fashion magazines when I had a spare minute was a key component of "making the workday bearable" challenge. Evidently, there is always something to do, and if I or my co-workers ever think there is nothing to do, we should call our boss. I'm gonna. "Hello, boss? I am SO bored right now."
A second crackdown has to do with food at the reception desk: the boss is against it. My co-worker had left a bag of snackfood in the lower portion of the desk, and the boss saw it. "Are these your cheetos?" she asked. "Yes, I left them there yesterday and forgot to take them home," my co-worker said.
"Well! They're mine now," the boss said, and she took my co-worker's cheetos.
Confiscated them. Maybe my co-worker will get them back, when she's shown that she can handle cheetos. Did you hear that, internet? A grown woman took another grown woman's fucking cheetos.

Anyway: I am an administrative assistant with a heart of gold. I have a stupid work ethic, and work hard even when it will do me no good and will fail to buy me one glance at the latest magazines in a slow time. I show up, even when scared and sleep-deprived. I have a pleasant phone manner, and I don't steal the inventory. Who would like to hire a nice girl?
