So R is out sick, which is always good. But since she does "so much work" they are having other people cover the reception area. For some reason I have the longest time slot.
Sorry, what's my job again? Am I a receptionist? Do I have other work to do?
I know the other people will complain about it too, but they are CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE so at least it makes sense for them to do it. I repeat, my job has no customer service duties at all, no answering phones, nothing that involves me being away from my desk.
It was an order from the company President. The same person I will be soon handing in my resignation to.
They're just gonna have to live with the fact that I won't get any work done today, and then I'm out Thursday & Friday for my DC trip (yay) so I guess processes will just have to stop while I answer phones and stare at a blank computer screen.
AssHat Bastards.
ps - might I add that only WOMEN are playing receptionist today? I guess men can't answer phones, or that the men's work is more important than the women's.
God, I hate this place.

Hey... you didn't tell me you were coming here?
When?
Where?
Let's have lunch on Thursday!
GF
That shit about only women filling in for R? Oooh, that burns me up.
GF - I sent you an email.
Suze - oh me too. Especially since there ARE male customer service people that could do it better than I.
So what they're saying is that inside your building there's a time warp? Does Ward Cleaver work there? Have you seen Ozzie and/or Harriet lurking around the break room? For god's sake, if you see Father...run for the hills. He's likely to start calling you kitten and make you wear a poodle skirt.
I should probably be at home cleaning...
I'm so happy for you that you're leaving. The fact that the women have to fill-typical!
Now if I only had somewhere to go, I could leave today.
I really think that you should write all of that in a letter to the president--without turning it into a rant, but asking what the crap is going on. WHY aren't men filling in? WHY are you filling in when your job requires other things of you? That should all be put on the table. Maybe they just need someone to point out the ridiculousness of it all, as they are clearly unable to see it themselves. You don't have much to lose, right?
All of this will definitely be brought up if and when they tell me to fill in again.
Drop me an email. I have some information for you that will be helpful and useful and other -ful type words.
