This is My life....

Okay before I tell you my story I would like to give you background. I think that I have mentioned that I work at Secure Shredding place as an office manager. Every day people come and go out of my office and I have little conversations with them. The people that I have the most conversations with are the drivers. Their job is to simply go to all of our customers and switch out their full container of paper with an empty one. I have no windows and the machines that actually destroy the paper are extremely loud so sometimes I get a little anxious and ornery....but these are some conversations I have had today.


Conversation #3

Me: I heard you guys got done really early yesterday.

Driver: Yeah we were done so early it was a little ridiculous

Me: Well you won't be done that early today but it doesn't look like it will be too bad which is good for a Friday. :)

Driver: (while looking through his tickets for the day) Yeah it's just a lot of driving and walking around with containers......

Yup he wasn't kidding...I wonder what he normally does.


Conversation #2

Me: Hi!

Person in the hall: Hi Natalie, did you go to the golf tournament yesterday?

Me: Yeah I just went to help I didn't actually golf but it was really fun!

Person in the hall: Must have been exhausting, you look tired.

Me: (in my head) Yeah but not tired enough to punch you in the face


Conversation #3

Boss numero uno: Natalie are you really behind because of yesterday?

Me: (after snapping out of a daydream) No, why?

Boss: I need you to come look at something in my office....

After he leads me into his office and pulls up an excel spreadsheet he then rambles for at least 15 minutes about the spreadsheet he is working on, what he's done what he wants to do yada yada yada then at the end he says so you think about ways to make this simpler, is that okay?

Wow, I guess he thinks I'm an expert at excel...not so much I thought you were showing me a new language you had learned for the last 15 minutes.


Yes, I have a very exciting job and I really do love it for the most part, but I really am tired and anxious and ready to go home. Luckily I'm leaving early today....one hour and counting.


Best part of work today? I wore a penguin shirt without planning it...yes I am going to Mr. Poppers penguins right after work :D
