I was just completely overwhelmed at work about 10 minutes ago. I was trying to finish up a filing project, which involved putting labels on folders for students who don't have a folder yet and then putting their papers into said folder. While in the midst of this project, about 3-5 people walked in for Late Registration meetings with the advisors (not all at once, but pretty close). I was also on the phone for about 10 minutes with some woman who wanted me to answer a question that I couldn't because the only person that would have been able to answer it was gone for the day.
Even while I was dealing with all of this, more people came in and I kept getting more phone calls. Thankfully one of the advisors was up front speaking with a student and she helped me out with the people who were walking in while I was busy answering the phone. I probably would have thrown something at the next person (or the phone) if she wouldn't have been here to help me.
I swear that the world always knows when I'm at the front desk by myself! My co-worker left at 1 and my boss didn't come in today, so I'm completely alone up here and everyone seems to know that and they all flock here as soon as I'm by myself. It's ridiculous!
Yeah, this is when we normally start. It probably seems early because I just got done with summer classes about 3 or 4 weeks ago.
