First of all,
I really really apologize for my last post.
Second of all, I've discovered my extreme dislike for being a secretary (*cough* administrative assistant). It's ok at artsy-fartsy educational companies that know you don't give a damn, but it's a lot harder when you have to pretend you care. Some guy from my office came up to me today, while I was obviously busy with something, and said, "Do you know how to send a fax?"
Ok, seriously. I've been there for 2 weeks, and he's been there for over a year, and he's asking me advice on how to use the office equipment? I was like, "ok, you put the paper here, and then you punch in the number." For crying out loud.
Basically, I was sooooo jealous. I wanted to be the rude person with the "important" job, running up to the secretary with my important fax, saying, "This has to go out soon! Help me, I have no clerical skills! Also, can you order me 10 reams of paper? You know, the long weird-looking paper?"
If you ever want motivation to stop farting around and get your career back on track, get a shitty job, surrounded by people with jobs they love. It does the trick!
