like a lost sheep..

Rather interesting name for a discussion given that the company I work for is actually called Blacksheep haha! .. but I have been a little lost sheep today. This week in work has been very busy. I haven’t stopped yacking to people on the phone, typing, filling in purchase order forms, emailing quotes, and redirecting sales calls. Friday is usually our busiest day, but for some reason, our busiest day hit us on Wednesday. Why, is still unknown to me. Nothing was on time, no customers were happy, and I slowly lost the will to live, to the point that by 3.30, which is my tea break time, I wanted to walk outside and get hit by a well-endowed bus! But then came “our busiest day” .. Friday. And nothing. Dead as hector. Not a sinner in, not a phone call worth mentioning. No invoices to key onto the system. Hardly any purchase orders, and none that needed that much care and attention anyway! and the vast majority of our work force decided to work out of the office today, leaving me very alone. I usually have to schedule my lunch hour, around everyone else, so that someone can man the phones in my absence.. well that wasn’t an issue today, there was no one here, so they could have rang off the hook for all I cared. And my 3.30 tea break time? Well that was up to me to take. I had no authority to answer to, no one to double check with, and as I trudged on outside for a well deserved smoke, I thought, I could really get used to this. But it was not to last, because here we are at almost 4pm, and everyone is now back in, milling around as if they day has only just begun, despite myself counting down the ridiculous 60 minutes until I am allowed to leave! A working week.. isn’t really what its cracked up to be is it?
