I start on my first session of reception duty today. I am almost tempted to REALLY suck at it out of spite to prove that actually women CAN suck at this too and it's not "known that females are better at this". (in the words of a FEMALE colleague. I almost wanted to wring her neck for saying that.)
I want to leave a line of people standing outside the glass doors for the sole reason that I don't know how to press the button situated just under the desk to let them in.
I want to leave all calls unanswered for the sole reason that I don't know how to lift the receiver to pick up a call.
I want to have people screaming at me for transferring calls to all the wrong people because I just can't understand the phone directory with everyone's extension listed on it.
I want to sign on the FedEx delivery form to acknowledge that I have received four packages instead of five because I just can't count up to ten.
