It was so bad on the counter today at DIAC, I ended up staying back til 5pm at work. I know it sounds like another whinging entry but it was honestly a crap day because we were low in staff at SMU (student monitoring unit). Marie was sick, Thals was busy in meetings, Dale had to leave at 1pm, and Peter who has recently left us to go to Citz. I just don't see why they would want to cut the numbers down in SMU!! Our workloads seem to have had a sharp increase in the past 3 weeks, I'm thinking we have FINALLY hit the peak.

But I was only on the counter today for 4 hours haha. I think I just had a lot of annoying queries from students who won't take no for an answer. I wish there was some automated service at the reception that says press this button and ask your question...the box shall tell all. Cuz by the end of the day I had gulped down my 1.5L of water and still had a dry throat. Urrrghhh...I think I just have to get out of telling boring information over and over again to people. I need some variety in my work, haha even though I have that now. But office work... *sighz* you can only do it for so long before it kills ya spirit. I had a 'working party' meeting today to develop ideas on the Wednesday Counter openings...it's like IT'S NORMAL! HELLO NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS! Why make a BIG deal out of it, consulting everyone, making sure no one has a BIG cry. It all seems so stupid in the end...cuz it creates whingers..

Dont get me wrong I like the people I work with, most of them have a warm heart...have outside aspirations, embrace life, do not think working towards being a figure head the most important thing in the world. Actually if I was offered a 5 I doubt I would jump at the chance... it's not something I feel is close to my heart...
