Controlled Chaos Part 1
Well it's been over a month since my last update so it's about time right? I'll start from the past and work to the present. The end of last month my work moved. Since then I've been working 5-1/2 to 6 days a week. If the building had air on Sundays I'd be working 7. I'm not behind like normal, it's just an import has this huge almost 300 client list. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal to clean up the list before auto adding them to our system, but I was wrong. Something I thought would be a 2 hour project has turned into a 12 hour and counting, and I've only cut the list down to around the 170s.
So when they decided on the layout of this office they all thought the cubicles I'm in would be the same size as the ones in our last office. They're wrong, very wrong. Everyone said that they all had to cut down space, but they all have offices. The only person I felt bad for was our CCO since he thought he was getting the same size then a week before the move he found out it's smaller. Everyone else gets a decent sized office or a larger cubical then they had at the last place. I'm cramped and although I keep my mouth shut I hate it. I had stuck my trash can in the hallway for the first couple of weeks, it was suggested to me by my mentor since I wasn't sure where to stick it. I'd find it under my desk in the morning and I'd stick it back out when I got settled. Turned out my boss didn't like it there and asked if I could put it under my desk. I felt like laughing, I enough room for me and my purse under my desk, where the trash can was supposed to fit I'm not sure. We compromised on the space behind my chair which makes it even more cramped, but compromising doesn't always meet in the middle, eh.
One of the nice things about the location is all of the places to eat around us. It's really nice to have choices. Granted most are on the more expensive side, but it's nice to splurge sometimes. Normally I've been doing it on Friday's when I know on Saturday it's going to be a long work day, like I will eat lunch at work instead of leave for the day.
Another nice thing is the drive through the residential area. I guess the city wanted to make a "lower-class" neighborhood to have an upper class feeling. It's a very nice drive, like the scenic route I used to take. I also love how easy it is to just get into my car and go for a drive around the nice neighborhoods. It's very claming. I got lost the first time though...
Our receptionist is still...*sigh* . I mean when the phone rings and she's going through the mail she stops. How hard is it to do two things at once? It's not like she's taking minutes on what the person is saying or anything. Everyday I pray that the phone doesn't ring so it won't take forever and a day. I had to do new business a while back and I don't think she liked me going through the mail to get the new business out. I couldn't wait for her. She is proof that with time swiftness does not always follow.
Yeah, I know my avy doesn't match the layout, but it will...sooner or later...
wow.... i'm sad to hear ur working place is so cramped. it's not good for u... and hopefully the limited space is not taking its toll on u.
i go crazy if i'm stuck in a small space for a long time.

Awww... poor Katrina-nee has to work so hard.. Hopefully you'll finish the list soon. Maybe you can rearrange your things a little to get more out of your cramped space. Well about your receptionist.. One got to do what one's got to do in order to get more work done in a short time. She has to deal with it.
