So today for about an hour I will be changing my role in the office to help out. I will be answering phones and helping anyone who comes into the office. Now I don't mind doing this at all, it is something different and the people I am helping out in the office are super nice...so it is all good!
However, I can't help but be a little nervous. See, I work in the President's office of the college I work at and I will be answering the phone for about 4 important people, including the president of the school. This is a bit scary! Hopefully being a Friday afternoon, the calls and guests will be limited - but like I said....my nerves are definatly on edge. I will be all alone if there are any problems and I don't want to disconnect anyone during a transfer or do something or say something wrong to someone. Plus, I don't like answering my own phone!
So I am just hoping, everyone in the world will be busy and unable to make phone calls from around 1:30 - 2:45 today!
So here it goes!!!
(I am sure it won't be that bad...I just worry a lot!)
You'll do fine! Take a deep breath. Now breathe. There you go!
ReplyDeleteOk, it wasn't as bad as what I thought. Two phone calls and a couple people came to ask questions. EASY! The coolest thing is that in the 10 minutes since they got back and I stopped answering the phones the phone has rang four times and a bunch of people have showed up for a 3pm meeting. haha! Apparently my wish for people to be busy worked!
ReplyDeleteOk, so why did you have to do that?
ReplyDeleteI had to do this b/c NO ONE else except Dr. Unger and Dr. Adams was in the office - just me
ReplyDeleteAh, I see.
ReplyDeleteWhat? Dr. Unger can't do it?!
:-)
