I’m not one to avoid chipping in to help at work. Especially when I’m the new kid on the block. But this phone coverage thing is getting out of hand. I’m now the one they go to whenever they decide to go to lunch for a couple hours.
On Monday I covered phones for breaks and lunch. Today I covered the front desk from 11:45 a.m. to 1:40 p.m. And next Monday I’ll be covering from 1 p.m. to the end of the day.
How long do I have to work here before I can say, “Ask one of the other five people that covers reception on occasion?”
The good thing that came out of it? My own late lunch results in it “already” being 2:50 p.m., and I finished reading my book and get to cross another one off the list.
