Friday! Woo!
So I've hit a few work milestones. One is staying late (i.e. regular hours) on a Friday while my other admin peeps got to enjoy summer hours. It wasn't too bad. Most everyone else left too so all I had to do was answer the phone a couple of times.
My other big work milestone was this week though I forgot to mention it. It was hitting the point of working in an office where the air conditioning is so frakking cold that even a polar bear like myself wants to DIE. Luckily I had a cute sweater at home that I bought end of winter season so it was sitting and waiting for things to be cold enough to be worn. Huzzah for that time coming early! The sweater is now at work, so I can throw it on when the frost starts nipping.
Also today I was wearing cute shoes. These are the important things in life.
I was kept busy today by a project that needed constant revision. Which sounds annoying when I write it but really it wasn't. The most eye-rolly part of my day was really one of bemusement when my boss left for the day and then kept having these random thoughts so he'd call in on his cell to mention them to me. It's the whole absent-miinded professor thing he's got going on.
Today I also got OFFICE SUPPLIES!!! So in my random free moments (which were mostly waiting for revisions to be given back to me) I was able to go nuts with the label maker and COLOR-CODED FILING!!! I want to HUG my cube it's so awesome now.
I also got some things as part of my first attempt to help get my boss organized. I don't know the full extent of all his stuff yet so it's pointless for me to try to organize everything he's got. But there are some fairly obvious catagories of stuff that end up in his inbox, so part of today's office supplies and organizing was nice new trays (which were then labeled) to help pre-sort the incoming items. We'll see how well it works.
So after he left and in between all the phone calls from him I went into his office and filed the stacks of papers he had on the floor and set up the trays and sort the paperwork. Thus pleased with how well I had done - and staying a little bit past my scheduled time to go in order to do it - I went off for the night while whistling a jaunty tune.
...and then when I got to my car I realized I'd left the cardboard boxes the trays had come in on the floor of my boss's office.
*headdesk*
Ah well. We'll call it the Persian flaw of my organizing attempts.
