An office job always seems nice. All there is to it is just sitting down, answering a few calls, and doing a little paperwork. Sounds so much better than working retail or fast food. But like any job it comes with some bad parts.
1. Daily fights with the printer
Recommended for you
One day it's jammed, the next something is wrong with a cartridge, and the next it's jammed again. Now, It won't print right and it didn't actually scan and send to e-mail. I think we can all agree it has an evil mind of its own.
2. Answering the same question every Monday
"How was your weekend?" Thank you for asking but I don't need to tell the whole office I laid in bed and binge-watched Netflix and ate an unhealthy amount of food all weekend.
3. When the copy machine is loud.
Oh someone is printing 200 pages? Time to listen to the same humming noise for five minutes and try not to lose my mind.
4. Printer being busy
When that one person hits print just a second faster before you so now your job has to wait until their 600 page job is over with.
5. Never knowing if that call really transferred
Did I transfer them? Did it hang up? Who knows!
6. Computer problems
Nothing is worse than having to restart your computer and it's still not working. Then calling IT and spending half the day just trying to get your computer to work.
7. Getting handed a file of papers that is taller than you
Entering numbers into a spreadsheet, correcting a paper, whatever. All you know is the file is taller than you and you want to just through it straight in the trash. But, there is no better feeling than finishing that file.
8. When people start talking before you finish your phone greeting
"Good morning this is -" and that's how far you get before someone starts talking. You're half tempted to finish the greeting and making them ask their question again.
9. Did I even mention the printer?
Seriously the thing has a mind of its own.
