Ten things
Hey, summer is coming again and that means the beach and long hot days... Not that I mind... But seriously I am the sort of person that will probably complain and not bother to enjoy summer... This year, it has to be different, so there are ten things I really want to do this summer:
1: Go on a healthy diet and stick to it, no, I don't mean starving myself skinny... But you know when you pull up at the local food court at the galleria and your friends say let's get Maccas or Sushi, well its that decision I want to stick to... Like instead of McDonalds I will have some of my friend's sushi or get Subway... (And I will try very hard not to indulge in Subway's delectable cookies...mmmmm) Maybe, I will go to the pool every Saturday with my boyfriend... Oh, yes I am working every day full time, so that's going to be difficult every day....
More to come...

Being Positive and fleeting thoughts...
Some people call me crazy that I seem to always such a smiley girl, I have been upset before many times, so I'd prefer not to revert back to that... Anyway, I guess it alright I mean people don't understand me but that's okay... Don't you just love making someone else's day? Speaking of someone else's day my sister's Birthday is coming up! Yay! Except I don't know what in God's name to get her. I mean there is always the simple things like cards and chocolate but what about something that says happy 13, but by the way this is something you have never gotten... That kind of special, I thought about it and yeah, it shouldn't be that hard to pick something...I wanted to get her something grown up, but then there are those song around like I kissed a girl and I liked it... Not bad mouthing anyone here but how is my sis going to feel knowing that what I ever I buy her she might have to measure up to?? She wants all the rap music but I don't want to be a bad influence by giving her what she wants by any means... Oh well, I guess I can always revert back to the classic choccies and money...
What do you think?

Love
My Work
"What do you want me to do with these?" I asked, honestly, I think it would have been better not knowing the answer to that question.
"Oh, they are all from (some company name) Servicewest, you need to book them all in," I looked at him skeptically, was he serious.
So yeah, between booking jobs and booking in monitors I am also blogging... Not to mention we never get home on time. I don't see why everyone else leaves at 5 and we leave at 6. (groaning, customer walks in with several monitors as I am typing.)
"How many are you bringing in sir?"
"Oh about twelve..."
Yeah, so here I am having to book them all in... Yes, not to mention my dad just walked out the door saying "We'll sort this out," pointing to the twenty monitors... I don't think so! It just means more and more work for me... Anyway, that means I have to type a job card for each one... Plus I have a million emails to do and faxes and calls as well... Did I mention this was my first job; I never had a job as a check out chick like my best friends have, or a normal fast job... I guess I was scared I would suck at it. Then they would say "Celeste, you're fired!" Oh crap, its 11:48, that is not good... I still have to do so much... Anyway, there are good things about my job too. I work with my dad which means more bonding time, but there is no favouring me at all. He is the boss and I am "just" an employee... I feel so small at the moment. The other day I was booking in a customer's unit and I didn't know which extended warranty it was under, my dad stepped out and said,
"Don't worry about her," pointing vaguely to me, "She's my daughter, she's just a trainee," I groaned as the customer looked at me as if to say, pathetic sixteen year old doesn't know how to do her job. Now here I am on a Thursday and I'm all alone. Above me someone is filling out 12 job sheets! That is so unfair, in order to get the job card filled out with need
Model
Serial (looks like a barcode)
Customer name and details
Date of purchase
Proof of purchase
What the unit came in with
I have to also job label every part of it. For example Acer monitor needs a sticker on the base, top of screen and attachments such as cords, bags etc. This guy above me has 12 which means I won't be going to lunch again. My lunch is at 1:00 but since no one can watch reception I don't get lunch. But no one ever said I couldn't eat and work so I stick with that personally... My back is starting to hurt, I lean to close to the screen, I can see but it's just a stupid habit. Okay, this was my first post and I'm proud to say I'm a receptionist and loving it! (Even if my dad is the boss and I don't get lunch!) I'm off to work now...
