- I've hung up on one person who I was trying to transfer to another desk! Thank goodness they were nice to me when they called back and I confessed I didn't know what I was doing.
- I didn't know how to put someone on hold so I just put the phone down on the desk and ran to the next room to get the information they needed!
- An employee came up to the desk to ask a question and I had no clue what they were even talking about let alone where to send them for their answer!
- I can't get the stamp machine to work and the post office guy is supposed to be here soon. Oh well, I hope none of this needs to go out today!
- I have 7 minutes left of my shift, let's hope I make it!
