Can I Stop Now?

Well day 2 of my new job is over.  Because I am temporary I feel as though I am just ‘playing’ at being an admin person.  It’s a strange feeling.  Being a quality minded person, it’s odd to know that whatever I do within the company, in three months time, I just walk away and it’s forgotten.

I also feel as though I can’t just dive in shouting, you do it what way??????  I have made notes of ‘improvements’ I feel could be made, in case I am ever asked.  And I admit to being very tired today and ‘almost’ being bolshy asking . . . . but why can’t we do it like that? 

I’m having to kerb my tongue a little.  I spoke to one of my best friends tonight who shared in laughing with me, because she is like minded when it comes to quality and would know how frustrated I felt. 

Yesterday was a strange day though.  I will admit to sitting at the computer fighting back tears (how old am I?) because I truly didn’t want to be there.  Lets be real here, there are a lot of hormones lurking around as well, so I have to balance those feelings too.

So what did I achieve?

1) I successfully walked back from the toilet with my flies open!

2) I frightened myself stupid in the toilets by using, lets call it a ‘disposal machine’.  I placed my ‘rubbish’ in the tray and it made the most awful noise.  I swear that outside in the office, sirens and red lights were flashing ‘it’s the time of the month’. 

3) I was studying a list of people who were on telephone covering duty for the week and tried matching up the names with the telephone list.  I couldn’t place the initials BH or AL, until it dawned on me very slowly that BH was Bank Holiday and AL was Absence Leave!

So what do you think, would you employ me?
