highlights of today


1. cheap and nasty chocolate santas.

2. supaclips (only other administrators will understand).

3. being told this job is kinda mine should i want it. the mere thought of this makes me dizzy - could all of my wildest dreams be coming true?

all we need is cliff


the christmas tree has arrived...tis the season to be jolly? gosh, no, of course not... conversation between myself and anal administrator:


anal administrator: oh i see the christmas tree has arrived...

me: yes.

aa: who arranged for it to be put there.

me: heather.

aa: ah, i wouldnae put it there mysel.

me: ....

aa: could it not go in the corner a bit more?

me: no, it has to go there so they can get to the floor socket to plug the lights in.

aa: hmmm, it would be better further in the corner wouldn't it?

me: .... (in my head: did i not just explain the reason why it can't go in the corner?)

aa: it obscures the PR screen a bit doesn't it?

me: well i guess that won't do too much harm just for a couple of weeks.

aa: so who rearranged the chairs to make space for it?

me: heather.

aa: could she not have put those two around the back?

me: i don't know.

(anal administrator disappears 'around the back').

(anal administrator returns)

aa: well i wouldnae put them where she's put them.

me: right.

aa: so if anyone walks out of the gents and trips over those two chairs you get onto Heather not me alright?

me: righto. (In my head: 'in order to trip over those chairs they would need to be walking out of the gents backwards wearing flippers and carrying a stack of christmas parcels you anal scrooge!')

the life of a receptionist revolutionised


i have just discovered you can READ BOOKS on the internet! i am currently on page 32 of 'picture of dorian gray'. oh to do what i do all day and receive a wage for it!

oops


i have just accidentally ordered £200 worth of franking labels for the company that i think they don't need. i am scared. there is a dragon here who snorts poisonous gases at such incompetence.
