Poll question: I'm bored at work, what should I do, pray tell? SFU Poll ALERT!
I'm a receptionist/admin assist, and on a regular basis, I don't do shit (honestly, I'm a pawn, I answer two phone calls a day, put a stamp somewhere and that's it). Friday's especially are boring (lesse, I've been here for five hours and have taken three calls), my boss is outta here playing golf, and there's only one other employee here with me.

What do I do?
:banghead:

2. Hi,
I too am a receptionist, in a boring law firm. I like to waste more time in the Lounge, but also stare into space. :hi:

8. Good to meet you too.
I am so bored today. Most everyone is gone and when I've answered the phone the few times I have I get annoyed with those people interrupting my DU time. :silly:

9. hahah
damn callers! Having absolutely nothing to do at work (that is work-related) is fine with me, it's just when those one or two people call, they have to drag you back to reality so viciously! :cry:

:bounce:

I hear you though, have you been working there long?

:banghead: disgusting! the people here are really nice (and I'm thankful it's a small business so it's more personal), but I gotta get my ass outta here and get back to school.

12. Yeah, me too.
But the people here are not at all nice. I want to go back and get my master's in library science. What do you want to go to school for?

14. I went through
political science and sociology phases before I got to library science decision. I'll probably change my mind again. :+
