Which of course, stands for 'Experience of Work'. 'Work Experience', to you and me. Well, not to me, as established. Anyway... So, just finished my third day of office experience. Not too bad, I'll survive it for two weeks I suppose. I finally finished filing that damn cabinet... it's taken me all of three days to do it properly: I've not been doing it none-stop, but still it was a heck of a time. It had to be alphabetical, and there were four shelves - only there was stuff on the bottom and second-to-bottom shelf when I started, which got moved. So, I had to move a load of the files down (easier said than done. There was a sort of rail you had to hang them on by these hooks attached to the folders, and it's a bit of a pain when they're all squashed in) to spread them out. It was only yesterday I realised that for some obscure reason, I'd been putting them on the top, second-to-top and bottom shelf. I've got no idea why I seemed to be blind to the second-to-bottom one. ^^; I went to some meetings yesterday, which were good. I've not had much time off during work there, so these were opportunities for me to listen on occasion but generally just space out. And there was a fire-drill as well, which was quite entertaining. It was too hot outside, though. cry Then again, it's too cold inside the office. The air conditioning keeps giving me headaches...
I've got a swipy-card to get in some of the doors, as well, but I couldn't figure out which way it went this morning. Luckily some woman was coming through the doors anyway so she let me in. Today I basically just finished off the filing (whoo) and did some searching for names and careers on the excel databases and stuff. I also got to sign the rejection letters! whee They were the generic 'I'm sorry. Despite the fact you were an excellent candidate, you haven't been selected for this position' letters, and I got to print them off, fold them, put my signature underneath the 'Sincerely...' and then stick 'em into envelopes. Funnily enough, I saw somebody on the databases who'd obviously just started sixth-form college, but was from our school nonetheless. He was from my psychology teacher's form.
Tomorrow I get to work with Janet, who was responsible for the whole 'Pimps training course' email (Supposed to be a company called 'Pims' xd ).
I've got no great way to end this entry, so be content with: Beans!! :3;
