Administrative Assistant Trainee
Heh people,
I've started a new role. My lawyer friend asked if I could hold on for a short while since her Administrative Assistant is on sick leave. Now your girl has never been in such a position and before starting I was a bit concerned about things like personal space, since I must share office space with 4 other persons. I also had to keep in mind that I no nothing about the processes involved in running a successful attorney's office, but I was excited about learning, so off I went.
Well, it was a week. It was a week! It was a week! The day before, Sunday that is was lousy because I was feeling so depressed. But God stepped in and saved my life again. As I turned on the television early that morning, He hit me with Joyce Meyer and her piece on overcoming depression - Psalm 42,43, Phillipians 4: 6-7, Thess 5: 18,19. Then Roderick Meredith asked "The Purpose of Life" and he quoted Psalm 8: 3-9, Genesis 1:26-27, John 17. And so it went until I was uplifted!
Monday, I started off my first day working as an Administrative Assistant. Warm welcomes greeted me and I set out to prove my worth. It wasn't a bad day; walked home whistling. Tuesday morning I learnt that I don't lock the boss's door. So $345.00 later and 20 minutes of remarks, boss lady got her files and was able to get to court. I thank God, I had the money and knew where to find a locksmith who moves quickly
The rest of the week was filled with learning from very helpful staff, lots of laughter, walking home and in so doing getting my exercise. I have filed and typed me little head off. It really isn't too bad.
The week-end, me and my friend, Becky, did the gardening thing - planting eddoes, harvesting tomatoes, from my 1 tomato plant, transplanting orchids. All those coconuts on the back steps were opened by Becky with de big pooyah, taken out of the shell and we grated and grated. It was lots of fun!
And that was it. Back to another Monday.
