Diva on a Pound!

Ok well after my receptionist temp assignment, my agency asked me if I wanted to do some conference work and it would be more hands on and a lot more interesting then the receptionist position. Well I thought great! I wouldn't mind doing some conferencing like setting up the room etc. Little did I know I was completely wrong. When I got to the conference building they showed me around then they took me to the kitchen and told me that this is where I will spend most of my time and basically my main duties were to set up the tea, coffee, lunches and snacks in the rooms and when they were done to clean up. Man I felt like a maid, I was really upset that the agency made this job seem more glamorous then it really was. So I said to myself I can't do this for a whole 2 weeks, I would die!!! I tired to see if things would get better during the day but they didn't. The girl that was supposed to be training me just ended up leaving me and never returned, so I was like what the... Then there was this nice guy that helped me and he told me if you don't like this then get out NOW!!! He obviously hated his job and actually he told me that he hated the job. Thank God another agency had called me the day before to come in a register with them and they would try and get me a permanent customer service job. After this experience I thought I had nothing to lose, so I contacted them and made an appointment to registrar with them then I called my other agency and told them that I could not continue with this assignment and I would be going to Paris for a week so I won't be a round for a while. I know I shouldn't have lied but I just had no idea what else to tell them and I wanted to see what this other agency could do for me.
Anyway to make a long story short, I went to a couple of interviews and yesterday I was offered a permanent job with this call center. My role is to be a call center operator and basically if like a police department arrest some dude and he only speaks Polish then they would call me and ask me to get a Polish translator for them. So I think this job will be a lot better then cleaning up after someone. Any hey this is all temporary right!!!
