First day

So for those of you that don't know ... I got a temporary job this week doing front house reception for a coffee and tea company in south London. The picture is me on Tuesday before work ... note the very nervous half smile. The other photo is of my very pretty new bling watch ... a gift from Zod that we went to go buy on Sunday. Thank you baby.

I started yesterday ... and literally like they say ... hit the ground running. I had a quick crash course on how the switchboard works ... the posting system ... what a nightmare ... and an overall figure it out from the notes left by the reception. What a day ... especially if you where so nervous the night before that you had almost no sleep ... seems that Zod and I project onto each other I had almost no sleep the day before he started working ... and vice versa.

So being tired and being run ragged literally dropped dead when I got home last night. Today though went much better, got the switchboad sorted, the post and DHL as well ... ordering taxi's ... yebo (when thy can actually decide when they want to leave) ... need some work on the lunch ordering ... but got the email system down.

So when ever you do reception ... here are some tips ... there are two types of DHL ... red which is international and blue is domestic. Food ... order a long time before ... find out who still works at the company ... oh boy ... I have a nice list of people who do work there and their extentions ... thanks to the foresight of the receptionist ... she is a star ... anyway enough for now ... just an update on whats what.
