Welcome to the workforce, matey. har har, it's not what you expected

Well first of all, before I get into explaining the title of this post, I would like to, if I may be so bold, welcome myself back to the blogging world. Of course, at this point I have about 2464765451 blogs in the past, 1 Livejournal in the present, as well as a Good Old Fashioned paper diary. So how do I deal with the very easy potential for redundancy, which would drive me absolutely nuts? I guess I'll let go of the Livejournal, or convert it into an artistic beacon. Also at this point I have a whopping ZERO readers of this new and soon to be beautiful blog, which I guess is a good thing because I am a bit rusty around the edges with the blogging etiquette deal.

And now for the more interesting topic of the day- work! With a bit of personal backstory. For a while now my fashion obsession has been office clothing. The elegant pants and skirts and very trendy shirts, not the metion the stunning click-clacking high heels that are epitomized by the movie Devil Wears Prada have for a long time been my favorite type of dress. Unfortunatly for me, I would never be able to pull off such attire in a school setting seeing a most teenage girls are still consumed by the prep clothes hype, and I could not want to be as conspicuous as, say, a sore thumb, or a three headed dog or soemthing. In short, I just would not feel comfortable in a setting where I am wearing clothing that does not match with the location. I keep getting sidetracked here. From my love of the office wardrobe came a fascination with office life itself. So as you can imagine, I was beyond thrilled when I was presented with the opportunity to work at a Cambridge-based company for a month this summer. I am currently almost done with my second week of work, and, as with all situations in life, the office is both everything I expected and nothing I expected. The position that I am working, receptionist, is very good for me because I not only get practice working in a corporate setting task-wise, but also socially. I am learning how to interact with co-workers, and phone answering etiquette. The drawbacks of the job are the early waking up time (which leads to the unbearable afternoon sleepiness) and the mid-day boredom when I have no work to do to make the time go by.
