28th and 29th day of internship:
Was too tired (and lazy) to update about work yesterday.
Besides, it's just as predictable (and routine) as the past week: check top-up and returned materials, fill in some Release Orders, job slips for continuing jobs, delivery schedules, keyed in installation workers' over-time hours, filed the ROs that were checked by the admin/accounts staff and filed some invoives.
Like, how yawn-inducing was that?
Today was busier, considering that the reception/admin staff is on leave and won't be back until Monday so I had to take over her work for the time being.
Can you just say "hectic" in all caps and italics?
Everytime when I thought that I've settled whatever task I was doing and could get started on the next, someone would call in and need me to do something else.
No wonder the original staff don't pick up phone calls.
In between answering phone calls, I did the usual filling in of Release Orders for touch-up jobs, and among the frenzied taking down notes for various sales personnel and the operations staff, I did 3 job confirmation/quotations, faxed those quotations, typed out a list of the installation workers' particulars and in the afternoon, I called up companies to ask if there are any cheques ready for collection and photocopied invoices to keep a copy while mailing out the original.
Sheesh.
I suddenly remembered that I'm a logistics student.
And what in the world was I doing today?
Oh and once, when I was taking down the particulars of a possible new customer, he asked if I was local.
Uh, excuse me? Just how foreign do I sound, mister?
On another topic, some people just have the knack for asking the obvious.
Like, hello?
Used your common sense much?
It's becoming a chore, you know, trying to come up a response whenever you enquire about something.
Something to ease the day, other than the fact that I only need to be in the office for 2 hours tomorrow because Jessie and I will be heading to school afterwards for an industry seminar/talk *evil cackle* which I decided to attend (under the pretense that it will be good exposure) because we can work 7 hours less.
