| | After long weeks of waiting, I finally started my first day (or hour) of work today!
This year I'm working in the admissions office, which should be pretty fun. I get to be a backwards walking tour guide, and when I'm not doing that, I get to work the front desk. Amy and Rose tell me they're going to join one of my tours and ask a bunch of absurd questions to weird out the prospectives. I gave my full approval to the idea, which means it won't be nearly as fun and they probably won't end up doing it.
Anyway, today I got to meet everyone in the office, except for the people who were out (which was about half of them). Then I learned how to transfer calls, put people on hold, go to voicemail, and what slots to put everyone's stuff in. Sue said that I did pretty well, and I must say that I agree with her.
The real test will be tomorrow, because I'll be answering phone calls that aren't just Sue on another line. I'll also be learning about making copies and all that good stuff.
The downside of this job is that I'm only getting about half the hours I thought I would be getting. I was told I would get about six, and I'm really only getting three. Most every other week I switch off with Phil and get two more hours added to that, and I take any prospectives to lunch on Monday. I'll also get to keep some students over night. I don't know how well that will add up, though.
I'm thinking that I'll probably end up picking up at shift at the dining commons. Rose starts weeping and gnashing her teeth when I talk of such a move, but I think it's what must be done. And besides, about half the school has worked in the DC at some point or another, so I know I'm not going to get sympathy from anyone else.
