hrm not really... was just sooo crap... and i did crap at it :( "not experienced enough" as they all say... presentation and attitude is great, but too intraverted for the role. Friggen meh, I think i've determined that I /don't/ want to do admin ever again. Need something with movement and fast paced... job thread
Maybe doing a preapprenticeship in Motorbike Mechanics... but will see how I do with finance :S

yeah did insurance admin... "Team Assistant to the Operations Group" and CGU Insurance then Site Reseptionist at Bovis Lend Lease Royal Childrens Hospital... and that's just crap. Crap work, boring work, nearly /no/ work. Then when I do to interviews they take 25 y o chicks that have been working as reception since they were 18, and I'm like "hell no! I don't want to be that in 7 years?!?!?!"

so something else for me!

The situation has since been downgraded from "everything" to "some things".

Bah, it's nothing major, just one thing after a fucking nother. It all came to a head when some twat in my office decided it would be okay to clip his fingernails onto the floor, then to to clip them onto someone's desk (not his) after I told him to stop.

I say "boxes of what? sorry, I am just serving this lady"

he butts in "I don't fucken know what's in them, yous are the ones with the fucken boxes"

:shock:

me - "um, if you tell me what they are I might know where they are, or if you know who ordered the job"

him "I don't know mate, ok ok they're full of.... of fairy floss, that help?"

:shock:

me - "look, I've really got to serve these people, find out who the contact is and I'll help you"

him :roll: :roll: :roll: "jeezsus, some help you lot are"

anyway..... it went on like that etc etc in front of about 15 or so customers. He's all red in the face n stuff, pretty lol realy but :shock: rude little cunt

hrm yeah couriers suck... and half of them don't have any teeth :teef:

Was thinking tho... maybe... just for a short time... I could do motorbike couriering... I know that pay is probably crap, but I love motorbike riding that much that I would probably take some sort of weird pride in it... plus I wouldn't ride like an idiot that most couriers do.... and I'm not /that/ bad looking so you guys could all have someone nice and happy come to your works :P

prolly not tho hey :teef:

Jesus fucking christ I almost pelted this bitch in the face for demanding stationary off me that I had already ordered /and/ left on her desk last week.

I was so close to saying "I am so fucking glad that I finish working here this week just so that I don't have to look at your face anymore"

Had to go over to her desk and show her where they were in the box. I think my brain enlarged with anger. Weird feeling.
