I'd never make it as a receptionist. I hate making phone calls and/or using a multi-line phone! And guess what I have to do at work for the next gosh-knows-how-long?? Make probably 100 phone calls to both different courts and also clients. I figured I will probably make one call to the court and one to client for each case, and I have to go through probably around 50 cases, 100 is a likely estimate. That is scary! At least for someone like me, who's a little bit phone-phobic. Not that I am afraid of making phone calls, but I hate having to deal with certain kind of phone calls, such as impatient people, names that are hard to pronounce/spell, people with accents (nothing against them, I am just HORRIBLE at understanding accents sometimes), and worst of all - incompetent people. I disliked the work so much today that I didn't even put in the full 5 hours today. I made only a few phone calls. YUCK! I even went out to lunch with a co-worker just to avoid the work! I know I can't avoid it but it just sucked.
Also, traffic was AWFUL today. It took me 1 1/2 hour to get to work. I was so annoyed (and falling asleep at the wheel the same time). I left earlier than usual and the traffic was bad, still! I just couldn't avoid slow traffic today. And what made it even worse was that I was almost out of gas.... HAHA
