Temping is an Art

OK so i am getting into trouble for not blogging for a while and i am sure that you are all wondering where Ep 2 is of my camping travels, well you are going to have to wait a while for that i am afraid i am trying to build up a little bit of suspense so that when it does come you will be on the edge of your seat.

What i do want to talk about is my little 2 week temping job.

So i am working for this little company in Grove, my role is Admin support. now i am still yet to discover what i am supporting

THERE IS NO WORK FOR ME TO DO!!

I was told to bring in a book well i am now on my third book!! below is a list of things i have done to keep me entertained through out a normal day (in order of doing them as best i can).

1. Check work email (nothing for me so i am basically just being nosey and reading unimportant stuff)
2. Check Hotmail
3. Check Face Book (even though i know there is nothing new as it would have told me on Hotmail)
4. Check Kerry's Blog (nothing new there as always!!)
5. Check my blog (see if there is any new comments)

10. smoke
11. coffee machine
12. drink as much water as i can so that i need to go to the loo more often

Things i have learnt

1. There are 58 blinds hanging in the windows
2. There are 104 ceiling tiles
3. 8 of which are lights
4. There are 208 carpet tiles
5. 4 of which have some unrecognisable stain on them (without sitting on the floor with my forensic case from CSI i don't think i can tell you more)
6. i can make out 6 different shades of blue in the carpet
7. The lady i am covering for keeps everything (i mean everything)
8. it takes 3.5 seconds for the shredder to shred one piece of paper
9. if you stare at a floor tile for long enough it starts to move
10. there are 22 lines in a small note pad
11. and 34 in a lg one
12. it takes me 3 mins to walk round the whole building
13. it is 72 steps to the toilet
14. and 66 to the coffee machine
15. if you read a book for 6 hrs straight your eyes go funny
16. i can only drink 12 cups of fully loaded coffee before i start to shake
17. if you drink 4 litres of water in a day you feel like a fish tank and need to toilet a lot
18. if you shake the bottle of milk up for ten minutes then pore it into your coffee you get a latte (education compliments of Lyndsay my partner in crime)
19. it is 75 days until Lynday goes to Egypt (woo hoo)
20. There are to many kinds of Pink wigs in the world my highlight next week is to see the Pink wig Lyndsey ordered so i can point a laugh

I am sure there are more things but they were so fascinating i cant remember them

What else have i done,

well on Tuesday the phone rang i was so excited at the prospect of something to do, with my pen and notepad in hand i answer the phone with childish excitement, i listen intently take notes and hang up the phone, So i need to book flights and hotel accommodation for a very important man i am so excited until i realise that i have actually forgotten who the hell it was i was talking to!!

So with the help of my partner in crime we manage to deduce who it was and hopefully 1471 has not let us down and i book the requested info the the correct person.

i am sure we will find out when he get to the airport and there is either a flight for him or not.

well that is pretty much my entire week planned out for me i am sure that i will learn more interesting fact as the next week arrives and continues,

Much love

the admin support extraordinaire
