Fail

In this episode, Dawnie gets in trouble at work

So I'm filling in for reception today because the regular girl is sick. I hate reception (anyone I talk to will know this already). Our office is usually pretty dead -- only a few phonecalls a day, one mail delivery and no other visitors. It's not too bad. The only problem I have with reception is I am not told crucial information. Information like 'oh by the way, you MUST screen the president's calls'. That does sound like something that would be important to tell me. Must have forgot.

So the envitable happens: someone calls for the president, asks for him by name, so I transfer. That's what I'm supposed to do. WRONG. The pres comes out of his office and demands to know who I'm transferring to him. He looks pretty mad (and seeing as he's never said a word to me before I'm kinda scared) and snaps at me that I have to screen his calls. Now I understand that he doesn't want to be bothered with calls. I wouldn't want to be bothered with calls either. I'm very sorry bossman. Don't fire me.

I hate being reprimanded at work. For me it is the most degrading experience I've ever gone through. At my first job, I cried the first time I was reprimanded. I don't cry anymore but it pisses me off sometimes.

In the future I will not transfer anyone to Laszlo. Ever.
