I'm going to have to stop being such a romanticist, or at least toss my rose tinted spectacles bin-wards!
I'm not sure what I expected my temping assignment to be like, but let's just say I came back from work yesterday in an awful mood and abs shattered. It wasn't that the work was difficult, anything but, after all it's only a reception post. But in the back of my head I'd conjured up this amazing glamorous image of me greeting clients, offering them a choice of scrumptious beverages..."Would you like a Latte, or would sir prefer a Cappuccino?"
I had visions of swishing around my desk, shuffling papers efficiently, smiling at customers and letting them know that "we'll be with you shortly".
Let's just say I came back to the West Midlands with a rather heavy bump yesterday!
Today, wasn't so bad. Now I know what to expect. It's still pretty boring (for a girl that's used to being rushed off her feet, there's little challenge to answering phones and transferring calls!), but my bossy ways are coming out already - not sure that's what they want in a receptionist, but it's not in my nature to sit back when I can see room for improvement. Besides, it makes the day go much more quickly!
