life as i know it has become an anomaly of which i was never prepared. in highschool, they tell you that you are nothing without college. in college they tell you you are nothing without experience. and in the real world, they look at your resume and they look at you- EAGER, with all of your education, big resume words and part-time work experience and suddenly like the death of versace-say to you: they want more.
well, i have yet to discover the route in which one really SHOULD take to make all of their dreams come true. despite feeling like i've been lied to, misguided and abused by sallie mae and all of her "allow-me-lend-you-LARGE SUMS of-money-for-your-ever-so-valuable-college-education", i will advance. in fact i already have.
i am a self made thousandaire. i dont work long hours, i have weekends off, and i have the best most attractive looking desk in my office. if you haven't figured it out by now- i am a Receptionist. some other titles i hold- Chief Operating Officer & Telecommunicator (COOTer) Chief Executive Officer of Receptionism (CEOOR) and Chief Executive Fire Warden (CEFW). while my occupation may suggest that i am a high profile person, i am just like you. although i am constantly communicating with people all over this planet, and people fear me, i am nothing worthy of intimidation. i am just doing my job. day in-day out. the minute i turn off my 28 inch flat screen DELL pc at 5:59 p.m. i become human camouflage. looking at me on the train, you would never know what kind of career i posses. you would never think, "wow, she must have hundreds in the bank." i seriously am not trying to boast, but it is true.
my journey as a COOTer has not been easy. this blog is an evidentiary preservation of my tribulations on dealing with the power, fame, money and stresses of COOTer-ing through receptionism. keep enjoyin', and ill keep bloggin'.
