Being a Receptionist

How a Receptionist looks when her day at work begins..

So for the past two days, I tried working as a receptionist.

Usually, people have this mind-concept whereby being a receptionist is as easy as can be.

And more often than not, they are looked down upon by others.

It is true that they are viewed upon as the lowest of the chain group in an office but you would be amazed at the amount of work one has to do.

The Receptionist in my office was on leave so I had to take her place for 2 days.

There are many things you have to do in a matter of minutes.

For example, you have to Take Calls & even Transfer the calls.

Sometimes you meet nice people on the line whom are willing to wait for you while you fumble around to search for That specific person,

While some scream on the other line to make you understand the urgency of the situation.

Then you also have to..

Get the mails.

Open the mails.

Record the mails.

Sort the mails.

You truly won't have enough time to do it all at one shot,

because sure enough, 

there's always more on the way.

Chop, Sign & Stamp.

That's what you also have to do when the courier service people come in.

Damn, that's a lot to do.

You even have to Prepare the mails for mailing - via courier/postage

gahh unending.

I can't even get up to go to the loo or even refill my drink.

I didn't even get a chance to drink my Milo today :(

and it was ready since 9.00am!

How sad

So really, I have a whole new level of respect for all those Receptionists out there,

Particularly the polite, sweet & helpful ones!

ps:

I saw this on Facebook and thought these should be shared:

another one?:

"When you love a woman, what do you really love in her? It will be different with different people and it will be different at different times. If love really grows, this is the way: first you fall in love with the woman because her body is beautiful. That is the first available beauty - her face, her eyes, her proportion, her elegance, her dancing, pulsating energy. Her body is beautiful. That is the first approach. You fall in love.

Then after a few days you start going deeper into the woman. You start loving her heart. Now a far more beautiful revelation is coming to you. The body becomes secondary; the heart becomes primary. A new vision has arisen, a new peak. If you go on loving the woman, sooner or later you will find there are peaks beyond peaks, depths beyond depths. Then you start loving the soul of the woman. Then it is not only her heart - now that has become secondary. Now it is the very person, the very presence, the very radiance, the aliveness, that unknown phenomenon of her being - that she is. The body is very far away, the heart has also gone away - now the being is.

And then one day this particular woman's being becomes far away. Now you start loving womanhood in her, the femininity, the feminineness, that receptivity. Now she is not a particular woman at all, she simply reflects womanhood, a particular form of womanhood. Now it is no longer individual, it is becoming more and more universal. And one day that womanhood has also disappeared - you love the humanity in her. Now she is not just a representative of woman, she is also a representative of man as much. The sky is becoming bigger and bigger. Then one day it is not humanity, but existence. That she exists, that's all that you want - that she exists. You are coming very close to God.

Then the last point comes - all formulations and all forms disappear and there is God. You have found God through your woman, through your man. Each love is an echo of God's love." ~ Osho Indore
