Well...I took advantage a little.
I ordered a ham and brie with mayo and arugula on black bread sandwich...
Pasta with tomatoes and ricotta cheese salad.
And a banana, strawberry, coconut smoothie.

Why do you always get free lunch?
A bribe to work through lunch?

yes. not a bribe though--more of an obligation?
when my boss is out i am not allowed to leave the office. (she's the office manager) so she's been out sick for three days and i am to order lunch when she is out.

The free food is good, but doesn't that get annoying. I'm always running errands on lunch. I hate when I have to cover phones during.
Actaully , I hate covering phones at all, but thats'a whole other story.

Sorry, if this is a sore subject, I didn't mean to make you hate your job as much as I hate mine. . .

If I hate my job it's not because I have to stay in for lunch on days when my boss is out.
I appreciate the free lunch on those days. It's a nice thing.

It is a nice gesture.I'm glad you can see the bright side.
I'm just a bitter woman. . .
I'll try to stop bringing everyone down with me. . .

Re: Free lunch again today. What should I order?

you really wanna know?
I was goign to start a I hate my job
thread, but I figured no one wanted to hear it.

I work in academic publishing. Its a small company. They exepct too much froma deaprtment of 3. What I do is done my different departments in other comanies.
I am work under the head of the departmetn, so I ahve a lot of responsibilty & very little authority, and I am constantly being contrradicted. I do more entry level phoen reception work thant I did when I started, b/c they are too cheap to re-hire a receptionist.

I'm always the last to know when policies change, when people are away, etc, so I am always giving incorrect information out. It is also a big pass the buck comapany.

I also have to deal with authors whao re porfessors & live in their own worls & treat us like crap, b/c they are not onthe best seller list.
I've been here almost 6 years, but I don't know what else to do. I have little interest in working anywhere in marketing or publishing.


Thanks for letting me vent.

What do you mean about your interest in working in marketing or publishing?

Sorry you have a sucky job.

It's just not my field. I'm an awful sales person, especially when I don't care about the product.
I don't really care bout the publsihing world, like what other companies are up to & things like that. Publishers Weekly is about as boring as Golf Digest to me.
I jsut work hear because they are the first palce that called be back when I sent resuesm out after college. This is the only place I even interviewed at.
