Please please please do I really have to stay at the office today!

Yet here I am. Don't get me wrong, I like my job in the City, just not today. The girl I usually work next to and with who I usually chat through the day is on a holiday and I'm alone in a room of male consultants talking about loss adjusting and insurances. Excuse me?



See, I have been working here since January as a team assistant. Funnily enough, they found my ad saying I was looking for a job at a PUB and emailed me whether I was interested in a job at the office. Back then I was in desperate need of money, so after two interviews I luckily got the job. 

Six months of working here does not mean I understand a shit of what they actually do! I mean yes they have explained some stuff and as I might be becoming a full-time worker here soon they have been talking about delegating Nordic marketing/case handling to me. Not sure what it would involve but sounds pretty good. And as far as I know our Nordic director has been handing out my CV's in Finland to important people such as managing directors of Pohjola or If, with plans involving me more with our contacts in Finland. To me that sounds pretty promising when thinking about my future career.

But calm down it's not that cool, today I have just been making some business travel itineraries and browsing on Facebook. Whoops I dind't just say that!

See I used to sit in the comfy room of our support staff section. Then they transferred me. Now I sit in the main consultant's room facing the Nordic director as I'm supposed to work with him. I don't mind since I got the best place in the whole office! Basically - I am facing the whole room and my back is to the wall. Think about the possibilities. Wherever I get bored I go on Facebook or read horoscopes. It's sneaky but no one can see ANYTHING I am doing so it's pretty awesome!

And oh, today. I am going to visit home tomorrow so my motivation for work is ZERO at the moment. Holiday, holiday, holiday, holiday!

Does not really help that all the phone calls I have answered today are from people who don't actually know what they are calling about and who they want to talk to. Well please people anyone but me! Don't talk to me I am just an assistant. I transfer the calls - not advise you on a claim, ok?

And I'm having the worst tooth ache for ages. I'm pretty sure it's my wisdom tooth I've been so hard trying to ignore. But no more about that I keep ignoring it as well as I can, I hate dentists. 

I will tell you more about my other job at the pub later because it is pretty awesome. Pouring beer and making extremely good jokes with weird people. Later!


My today's outfit. I won't normally post about outfits but I rather like this one. :)

Anyways I go back to work now and in less than 24 hours I will be in my home country. COULD I be more excited! (Well I have to wake up at 4am so there is one thing I am not excited about).

See you once I'm in Finland!!
