On Bad Judgement and Daydreaming

I don't even have to mention that yesterday wasn't one of my best days at work, but I'll say it anyways: Yesterday was borderline horrible.

It looks like the administrator for the other office may have quit, as she negleted to tell her boss that she was not coming into work yesterday. Because there are essentially two businesses in the same office space AND they share the same business phone number AND there's only one administrator (me), that means double work (for me). When there is double work for me I can't focus 100% on the tasks that my own boss wants me to work on, which is apparently my fault.

Does anyone besides me seem to understand how riculously stupid this is? Apparently not.

I thought about actually quitting and searching for a temp job doing the same thing for a company that actually knows how to treat an administrator and will pay me more. However, I'm just going to continue going to work everyday, doing the best I can and not being appreciated until I get fired.

If I get fired then it's their loss. Good luck finding another young grad school graduate who is actually willing, enthusiastic (sorry, was enthusiastic) about working as a receptionist. Let's not forget professional. I've seen the people who've come in to interview for the other administrator job: they are either young (parents), barely highschool educated and un-office like or old enough to be my mother or grandmother, highschool educated 25 years ago and have been working in the profession for so long they actually get excited about celebration National Administative Assistant Day.

Don't get me wrong, you can be any of those things and be a good administrator, but not with the company I work for. Apprently you can't be young, grad school educated, well-travelled, multilingual, dependable and capable either.

Geez, people get with the program!
