So today I began my work at the UNF Bookstore. It was quite crazy. I was more or less thrown into the heat of things (for those of you who do not know the first weeks of class are insane. no joke.) Because I had received no formal training, I was scared and quite oblivious to what was going on...if only you could have experienced it. No, I do not actually wish that upon you :). I began as a greeter. Ok, not too bad. Then someone above me comes over and says that I'll be walking around the textbooks and offering help where needed. Ohh...not so cool. Turns out though I had a ton of questions it was not too bad. From there I manned a table, might have walked the floor some more, and then was returning books.
But that was only my 10:30am-1:00pm shift.
(No to mention I had a 1:40-4:20pm class after)
Next shift: 5:00-10:00pm (oh ya...)
So I report back to the bookstore at 5 to Leah (who is the very, very nice Customer Service Manager). Alright, she hands me off to Gina (who is very nice as well). She tells me to help the Textbook Info desk. Phone rings. Ack! One of my least favorite things to do...nobody is their. Whew! Telephone rings again. Dag! I answer it and am able to help the lady on the other end (with assistance from someone else at the desk). After that I did a number of different things. It was crazy and intense. But I guess I have to give it my all if I want to hold this job :/
