No, not to answer my phone. I want to be a receptionist right now. Go in, answer phones, file, organize, assist when needed with no real heavily pressing duties, and come home. And I feel guilty about it.
I’m in my 20’s (for at least a few more weeks thank you very much), I’m college educated, I love my industry, I love working. But oh dear God I’m so tired.
And I have no right to complain-I don’t have any kids, it’s just me and the boy and stinky. Sure, there’s a wedding to plan-but even without that I still have the internal screaming, at least that’s what I call it. I don’t know how else to explain it but just that-I want to scream. And it seems like every freakin’ time I figure out how to do one thing at the office, they decide to “update” it and I’m relearning it all over.Â
 I’m due for vacation, and I’m so looking forward to it. But first, I have to get through the end of this year.

Did you know that at one point I applied for a TON of receptionist jobs? I even tried Manpower and such. I just wanted to file, and answer phones, and maybe have my own stapler. You know how much filing makes me a happier person! And I kept getting told that because I have a degree that I’m “overqualified”. And then, I cried. I was literally not allowed to answer phones and file. I feel your pain.
Andi—Not allowed to file and answer phones!?!?! That makes me laugh out loud!!!
Allie—-maybe we can open our own place where all we do is file and call each other so that we have a phone to answer. Every once in awhile, when we get restless, we can plan a party or something. THAT would be the life.
