7 hours and counting...

Today is my boss' daughters 13th birthday. Because of this they decided to suprise her by taking her and some friends to the West Ed Waterpark. They started training me on Tuesday so that I could run the front desk while they were gone. I came in at 7:45 this morning and this is what they said to me..."We will be back later once the kids get bored." Now I am just wondering what exactly does that mean. These are thirteen year olds we are talking about, not only that but they are girls, and they are at a really big mall. Do you think it is possible that they could ever get bored there? Not that I mind working...it's just that i'm not actually working. I think I have talked on the phone about 3 times, and I checked one person out of their room. I also did some laundry. That is it. Now I am here just in case. I am getting paid to write letters, talk on msn, work on my blog, drink starbucks, and visit people who know I am working and come to visit me. They even said I could go upstairs to where they live and watch tv. Why can't work always be like this?

It like me

So, today at work my boss decided that it would be a good time to teach me how to run front desk. For those of you who don't know, I work at a motel doing mostly cleaning and laundry. She started by briefly explaining (in about 3 min) how to do everything. Then the phone rang. I was the lucky one who got to answer it. This is how the conversation went.
Me: Hello Travellers Inn?
Person: Hi this is labgurbgaoihguir I have a reservation
Me: This is who?
Person: thoeianfrewoigndgio.
Me: Christie(my boss) I think it is for you.
Good start don't you think? Then the phone rang again, and I once again happened to be so fortunate to answer it. It was actually going quite well. Then I got rather dizzy and started to feel sick. Then I was on the ground. The customer was still on the phone. Good thing I had the sense to hold out the phone to Christie as I went. All in all I think I am going to like this position. I mean, how could you not after a start like that. Even better, I only managed to accedentily delete one person's reservation after that. I figure at this point I have nowhere to go but up.
