That's me!

Basically, my job is to wait for the phone to ring. I schedule conference rooms for the 1000 employees in my building and in a few others, take complaints about maintenance issues, and do a little bit of accounting. Other than that, though, I'm pretty much here "just in case" some sort of building issue comes up or one of the space planners needs help with blueprints, etc. Taking phone calls for conference rooms is the bulk of my job, but even though they're very frequent, they generally take a minute or less. So I can easily start a post (like this one), get interrupted 2 or 3 times (2 in the case of this post) and get back to it without losing my train of thought (make that 3 times I was interrupted!)
