So I got a text this morning from one of the temp agencies I'm connected to:
"Hey Zel, there's a company that needs a receptionist ASAP for today only, wanna go?"
Eager as I am to get out and do something, naturally I comply. Tell the agency "I'll be there within the next hour", I've been told by the agency that I'd have to take calls and eventually greet some visitors.
So I show up, ready to show my crazy receptionist skillz... and is told that incoming calls will be taken by a call center so I only have to greet visitors and sign for incoming packets/deliveries.
Today there were 4 guests and 3 freight deliveries, hence I basically spent almost 7 hours on my ass. Luckily one of the offices asked my assistance in preparing some convention material (read: stapling papers together), otherwise I'd gone mad or simply fall asleep while on the clock. Oh, and internet access was restricted so no Reddit for me.
Still, I got a pay of approx. 150 USD (before taxes) for that day, so that's ok... but if they call me in for tomorrow as well I'll request some more tasks. That company uses a ERP I just took a course about so fiddling with some data entry would be ok.
