I had a fun day at my dad's workplace today. After having a cup of Seattle's Best coffee from the coffee machine, I faxed hundreds of invoices to client companies located across the states. I hope I punched in all the fax numbers correctly, but if I made a mistake, it's no surprise, because hundreds of faxes (it is true that there were hundreds, but due to the confidential nature of the exact number, I will not disclose) is a lot. I also managed statements of the company's transactions with airlines. I found out that there many agents travelling across the states trying to make deals with other companies. Naturally, there would a long list of transaction for their flight tickets. I had to create a spreadsheet that recorded everything from the flight number to the GST, and that took a long time. I was all tired after that.
My dad's colleagues were very grateful for my help, saying that they wouldn't have finished it without me. They even wanted me to have a part-time job there to help out during the busy summer months. (My dad later told me that the task I was assigned to was due today and they would have had to work a couple hours overtime to get it done was it not for me).

It was a very tiring day, but I enjoyed it thoroughly.
