I don't know

I am currently sitting at my 'hot desk' at PR.  (A hot desk is a desk that really doesn't belong to one person in particular, rather, it is first come first serve.)  I am using the computer and the Internet here -- with permission-- to update my blog and FB.

My American buddy, Ella was not in today, so I had to go it alone.  We had planned to do laundry at a laundrette, so I brought my things.  I may go ahead and get that accomplished.  I mean, the home-stay has a washer, just no dryer.  :(  I don't like how my clothes feel without fabric softener and tumble drying.  BUT I don't want to pay too much just for a dryer.  Eh, I'll figure it out.

I worked reception today.  It was good.  I just felt as if I was not much help at all.  I manned the post (getting the client their mail) and the cell phone charging area.  The charging area is harder than it looks.  It's not too bad if the client has a charger.  You just give them their number and mark their charger.  If they don't have a charger, you have to try to find one that fits from about 2 dozen different chargers.  OR you run into problems with 50% of the have a Nokia phone and the center only has 2 Nokia chargers. 

I did get to see how they process the clients as they come in and learned a bit about what goes on on the front end of things.  I also had a blast just listening to conversations.  :) 

They had leftover sausages, toast, beans, and potatoes from breakfast so I had myself a proper English breakfast for lunch!  I went upstairs with the other PR workers and the 'Sisters'.  (There are several nuns from the Sisters of Mercy who have worked with this organization for 40 years or more.)  We all had a chat about all things British and London.  They then started asking me questions.  It's times like this when my southern accent sticks out like a sore thumb.  Here we are, all having a lovely chat and then my twang comes in.  lol

I worked reception again in the afternoon.  Partly because so many people are out sick I couldn't meet with them and partly because they needed more coverage.  Although, I don't think I was of much help as of yet.

Well, I am off to determine if I am going to launder my things somewhere or just take them back to the home-stay.

Cheers!
