Working a temp job

I'm actually working a temp job as a receptionist for ABC Company this week.  And for the record, I really don't like being a receptionist for one reason - there's NOTHING TO DO!  I sit here and play on the internet and answer the phone when it rings.  And that's all I do, hence the creation of this blog.  At least I can sit here and look busy, right?

So the phone rings.  "Thank you for calling ABC Company, how may I help you?" 

"IwanttospeakwithDickSmith."

Dick Smith?  Who's he?  I don't have that name written on my little sheet here.

Sir, can you please repeat that name?

DickSmithDickSmithdon'tyouknowDickSmith?

I have a Rick Smith, is that who you are trying to reach?

Yes,RickSmith(whatareyou,anidiot?),RickSmithplease.

Hit Transfer, dial Rick Smith's extension, hang up the phone.  There, done until the phone rings the next time.

Gee, let's see what other fun this day has in store for me.

I've already bored myself with how to make a wedding ring quilt, the intricacies of needle turn applique with freezer paper, and this great blog called Rants From Mommyland that I've been following pretty much daily for almost a year now.  But there are still some older posts I have not yet read, so I busy myself there while earning a paycheck.

I also got a nibble on a sewing ad I placed online - at least that's something.  Hopefully something will come of it.  Money is money.
