The grass really is greener
As our receptionist high-tailed it out of town (permanently and unexpectedly) last week, part of the job of greeting and answering phones has fallen to me. One of the things that I've found is that this side of our offices is MUCH more conducive to an enjoyable work experience. The walls in this office are white (the other office is puke brown), the space is more open, and the light is much brighter. In addition, the coworkers over here are less snide and cynical. My usual office is like a sewer compared to the reception area. Perhaps my dream of becoming a full-time receptionist will become a reality, eventually.
