Pam Beesly

So as some of you might already know (by you i mean whoever reads this blog, which to my understanding is noone), I am being a responsible adult this summer and working everyday from 8 to 5 in the warehouse of Turning Technologies. It has been an ineresting time full of new friends, scary moldy basements where saw 6 will be filmed, taking out cardboard, hiding in trash cans to scare my coworkers, making IR kits, updating XR keypads, feeling like a cool computer nerd, but actually doing the most simple things. Playing "name that band". Laughing at the intensity of the arguments over who is better Cobe or Lebron. Sitting in a chair popping bubble rap when i'm bored, some days wanting to blow my brains out from boredom, others being so worn out and tired that i colapse when I get home. Pulling muscles in my back, and bruising my hips and legs. Being referded to as "Ronnie Colman" and "muscles because of my amazing strength.... Basicly my experience in the warehouse has been well interesting, but now I'm moving up in the corporate ladder to RECEPTIONIST.
Actually she is in Ireland and I am just covering, but I like to think my hard work got me here... A few weeks into my job I worked in a lonely office researching tech companies for ones that did the type of broadcasting that turning needed (yeah boring). This confirmed my beliefs that I will never want to have a office job... Being the receptionist has made that belief so much stronger! Yes I do enjoy talking to people as they walk by my desk in the very front of the building and its entertaining to watch what is happening on the streets of downtown Youngstown (the other day a tractor parked in front of our building and two guys sat in it eating lunch... i laughed), but other wise i have to entertain myself with the dumbest things and I find myself feeling REALLY bad for Pam Beesly. Yes she is a fictional character, but she represents people with this job. It can be busy, then boring, stressful, then boring. Basicly I dont like it! I found myself entertaining myself for long periods of time with things like twitter (which i used to hate), white out, reading the office pranks, getting excited when they gave me jobs like alphibatising, spening hours trying to unblock facebook, playing computer mario games, watching people walk by outside, spinning in the spinny chair, Getting way to excited when anyone with a cool accent calls and almost peeing my pants when I got a call from a NEw Zealand guy! basicly this is me whining and warning you, though Pam's job may look kinda ok on tv, its not... It only is because she has Jim to come up to her desk, play pranks on people, and entertain her ... I am wallowing in self pitty right now and really wishing that i had a Jim. :(
