My latest period of being a proper working grown-up, short-lived as it was, has now come to an end, and I am left with a few days to get my shizzle together (see last post below) ready for Canada. However, before I consign my receptionist days to the hazy backwaters of memory, here's some things I've learned:1. Human beings have the inexplicable capacity to be complete and utter wankers. While the number of such ignorant people I met was extremely small (perhaps 1 for every week I sat as my desk) they can really get on your tits. Don't let the bastards grind you down.
2. If you can, move to within a few minutes walk of your local train/tube stations. Rammed-out buses are shit, bad traffic is worse, and as to the people who decide to close roads and dig fuck-off great holes in them without warning or justification at a moments notice - they are something else.
3. The presence of Krispy Kreme donut shacks in major mainline stations are both a blessing and a curse.
4. I love jalapeno and cheese-flavoured pretzels and Valenciana orange milkshakes from AMT Coffee.
5. I should really focus more on what happens in the office rather than on lunchtime outside of it.
