Okay, so I get called in to do a relief shift at Langtrees. All good.
Would have slept for part of the day if I had known I was working, but when the call came I was prepared (2 cans of Mother), that's the joy of relief work,,it's at a moments notice,,,all good.
I'm working with Sue,,,all good.
I've got a handle on things ,,,all good.
THEN......
After 3am Windows decides to do an update,,,all good.
Recovery screen for my recon comes up,,,all good.
I press recover,,,,,,All good,,,,,
NOT!
Where have the last 10 bookings gone on my recovery sheet?..
Hated to do it, but call Sue at her desk,,,"Ummm Windows did an update, I cant find the last 10 bookings on my recon"
"That's ok Tania,,think,,,,,I know you will sort it"
All good
Client comes back, left his wallet, all good,,it was in the room he had been in...
Clients flowing through the door, still trying to sort the recon, figured a couple of the missing bookings out,,,
More clients,,,stress level rising,,, put new bookings on recon,,,
Still can't find the other's,,,,hummph
More clients coming in,,,,Oh No!
AND THEN I HAD TO DO IT,,
IT PAINED ME,,,
I HATE ASKING FOR HELP,,,
I pick up the phone and dial the back office,,,
"Sue I need help"
Like I said, I hate asking for help,,,but,,Shite Happens,,,
Sue was out like a flash,,
More clients coming through the door,
Trying to sort recon,
A couple of rude clients at the counter,
Sue soon sorted them,,
More clients coming and going,,,,,
OMG!
Needless to say the recon was sorted,
But What a stressful moment,,
Was expecting Sue to be shitty at me,
But she was all good, "Don't stress Tania, things happen, it's all lessons learnt, you will be fine next time"
I have managed the counter on some crazy weekends in the past with no problems.
Remember this is my first night back handling the front desk on my own (as such) for over a year,
And I had to ask for help aaarrrgh!
(I hate asking for help, much to my darling husband @naughty thoughts consternation.)
Thank you again Sue
I am now sipping a wine
