Rose called yesterday, they needed a receptionist today. And it was busy. 8:30 to lunch at 1:30pm, I didn't have a break, and the phones were flat out. After lunch was much more normal.
Well, at about 11:30, it wasn't too busy (comparatively), so I pulled out my morning tea, a banana, which I figure I'll sneakily eat at my desk while the phones are quiet and no one is around. Just as I've peeled it, the elevator doors open and out wanders a camera crew from a current affairs show. I play "hide the banana and look responsible", but luckily, it turns out that they are here for a pre-arranged interview with CEO, and not doing a foot in the door expose. About an hour later, I'm plowing through calls and messages and stuff, trying to concentrate while they get establishing shots of CEO in foyer and standing in front of the reception desk, watching what I'm doing. I did hear the camera guy talking about panning along to a certain point, and stopping before they get to me, and I bloody hope that ended up being the case.
The good news is, I'm going in for two hours tomorrow, so that I can be trained to look after the company website next week, when C is away. That'll be 20-25 hours of work, afternoons only. Grunt work mostly, but more fun than reception (which isn't hard, admittedly), and is more related to what I actually want to be doing.
