Hey dudes I'm back. We did the presentation for class, apparently we got it all wrong, but I wouldn't have picked it either so so be it. After class I asked the teacher if I could change groups. She said I had to do the presentation again with whatever group I picked, but I protested, and she said she'd talk to the lecturer about it. I think it's fair enough to change groups if one of the members is an anti-team player. Anyway let's not get into it.

Work was good as it always is on Mondays when I have loads of stuff to do. I export sales figures to excel then delete a few columns and put it in order of highest sale etc for the week then send it off to the BDMs, (business developments managers) who work around Australia talking to travel agents. Some of the BDMs have become quite fussy about how they want their reports prepared and my supervisors are getting the shits. I don't really mind re-doing and changing certain reports because it honestly just gives me something to do instead of database updates which drive me mad. That's the job I have to do when I've got nothing else to do (which is 60% of the time). Apart from that I get other adhoc things thrown my way but I finish it all very fast and usually by 2.30 its quietened down and I'm stuck with the updating again. But the best thing about this job is that I'm not the office shit-kicker. Someone else distributes the mail, someone else hands out the faxes, and someone else does reception. This sounds really dorky, but I actually feel like part of a team. It's not heirarchical especially with the seating plan where me and my three supervisors sit in a square and offer suggestions etc to things like the design of newspapers ads and so on. On Mondays I get to flick through the travel section of SMH to find our ad then archive it and also look for a mention in the deals section.

Anyway Kubski the Teddy Bearski is here so I'll be off. Ciao!  ¶ 23:15
