A typical day at work will be very busy day,since working hours starts early then it will also be a long
day,I usually start at my workstation before moving here and there between the reception,the archiving
office and so.My routine things to do will be always handling some employee leave or sick
leave,sometimes it's an escort leave for a change lol.Anyways the reception area is always very busy
with the non stop ringing telehpone or visitors coming for meeting,or suppliers coming to deliver
something or collect something from one of the employee and it is always difficult to convince them to
wait until the employee comes since no one likes to wait and their car parked wrongly (it is very
difficult to find car parking in the building where I'm working).With no lunch break and 8 continues
working hours gives me some real headache sometimes but I guess this is the situation at all the big
companies after all I have gained 8 yeas of well experionce in the place where I'm working now.
