NEW JOB

Hi there folks, again I have been neglecting my blog. I have recent and good news for those of you who do not know yet!!
I recently got a job through my temp agency at an Insurance company called Megson Fitzpatrick. I started on April 12th, and so have been here for about a week now. I really enjoy it, it is fast paced and my days just zoom by. I am their receptionist working 8:30-5:30 Monday-Thursday, and Fridays are 9-5. I get an hour lunch which is now designated as my e-mail/blogging time when I do not have anything else to do. My main duties are answering the phone and helping walk in clients, as well as sorting mail and courier, and sending out mail and courier. This can take me an hour or more to get done depending on how busy the phone lines are. There is 15 phone lines with over 100 employees at 3 different locations in Victoria. Needless to say, I am one busy receptionist. I really really enjoy this work. I know many people asked me once i received my administrative assistant degree what type of place I would like to work in and I wasn't sure for a long time but did think that an Insurance company or real estate company would be my ideal workplace. I enjoy this place so much more than Viking. I did enjoy Viking for many reasons, but as a receptionist it was quite boring and not as much to fill time with.

So that is my update on my new job. A huge plus to Megson Fitzpatrick is having weekends off again and working Monday-Friday. Summer time will be much more enjoyable this way as well as having any visitors in Victoria. I am also making way more money than I did at Liquor Plus. I am now making $15.00/hr and this will relieve a lot of stress in my life.
A downside to the insurance company would be having to drive to work although it is only about a 10-15 minute drive, and trying to say the name over and over again throughout the day. Good Morning, Megson Fitzpatrick Insurance how may I direct your call? is my opening for all calls. YEAH! Try saying that over 100 times a day.
Well as a wrap up I would just like to say that I LOVE my new job and am so happy to be in the office enviroment once again. I do find that reception is a good fit for me. Still enough customer service but not too much that I go home angry everyday.

Hope ya'll had a good weekend and good week ahead!!
