What The Receptionist Was Really Thinking #TBT

Since becoming pregnant, its easy for me to get really pissed out about something. For some reason, work is a ticking time bomb of stupidity. I'm a receptionist so I literally encounter everyone that walks through the front door. It amazes me every single day the kinds of questions I get. I can't always...well, I can never answer like I want to...but today I can and I will right here in this blog.

"Is there a bathroom on this floor?"
 -No, the closest bathroom is located in the restaurant next door to the building. Let the hostess know you are with [name of the company] and they will point you to the toilet.

or

"Where is the bathroom?"
-Down the hall on the right...
 "this hall?"
-There is ONLY ONE HALL WAY...SO YES THAT ONE!


 "Do you make coffee?"
-Hell no, you drink it you make it.

I work in a mobile/satellite location so only about 20 people have assigned cubicles and offices. Most people are remote and only come in for meetings or to print stuff. I'm not security so I don't have to check ID's unless someone doesn't have a badge. Everyone has to scan in and only on a few occasions will people tell me who they are, where they will be, or who their guests are. So when someone comes in and says...

"Is Chris in today?"
- Is it a man or a woman? [company name] has thousands of employees; so why the hell would you come into a mobile/satellite office dropping a one syllable monicker; like I know who your talking about?

If you're not an employee, fine, you wouldn't know but for real...First of all give me a full name; first and last because there have been several occasions where Chris is actually Christina and not Christopher.

I'm done with this rant. There will probably be more to come.
