    I normally get stuck going to where the scenery is more like appalling.

      Do you know how little most receptionists get paid? Some McDonald's employees get paid more. They're not paid to be brain trusts.
      Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

        True, but you do get two types of receptionist - ones who want to learn about the stuff they're taking calls on, the rest read magazines and do their nails. It's a shame the ones who aren't actively interested don't get recognised for their efforts.
        It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

        Hit it.

          I think the two lowest paid positions (at least in a larger dealership) are the receptionist and customer trainers.

            Techs were the lowest paid at the dealership I used to work for....

              Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder. They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.

                A good receptionist is either very smart or very good looking, if your lucky you can get a combination of the two! Unfortunately our current receptionist strikes out on both counts. However she should get in the Guinness Book of Record for the greatest use of "like" in one sentence. What ever they teach them in secretarial school, diction isn't in the curriculum.
                At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.

                  This was a conversation between manager and new hire at front desk.
                  manager "Amy , tell Lisa to page the techs and tell them to avoid Raeford Road."
                  Amy "Who is Lisa?"
                  manager "She is the girl you have been sitting next to for 2 weeks."

                      Type A are trying to move up or are working their way through school to get somewhere better
                      Type B think they've got a dream job where they can do their nails all day and have no dreams of something better

                        Our receptionists/secretaries were always older than my mother.
