Well I managed it

to survive, 11 hrs and 45 mins of sticking on labels to brochures and leaflets before cracking! I think it ties with stuffing envelopes when I was a student as the most tedious job I have ever had. The saving grace, was the staff as they were all so welcoming.


It was a very small outfit, about 15 in total and they were getting ready for a trade show. As the stuff had to be shipped last night I thought that might of been the end of the labelling but no such luck. I didn't even get to answer the phone (the job I had been hired for) as on the first day, they (the phones) were mainly down and later, the receptionist who had been promoted, was told, actually although you have promoted, you will still have do all the duties you had do before, as we aren't hiring anyone else. Oh, and you wont be paid anymore than before. So she was assigned the number again.


Anyway, after labelling a few hundred leaflets(which I had to cut to fit, as the labels were .75" too big!!!), by 11am this morning and the prospect of the same this afternoon, I decided I had enough. I had such a headache by the end of it.
