=Not a Normal Day At The Office.=

A Collaborative Story By The Cert. II Business Class
Robert looked out of his bedroom window, hoping that his car would be stolen or at least wouldn’t start. He really couldn’t face another day of filing and photocopying and pretending to take telephone messages. Work had been so boring lately!

Suddenly he remembered that there would be a new employee starting today. That would make the day a little more interesting. He dressed quickly and grabbed a muesli bar as he ran out the door. He was already late. As Robert jumped in the car he noticed that he forget his work bag so he had to run back inside to grab it.

He ran quickly back to the car and jumped in hoping not to get caught in traffic.He arrived at work and then made a cup of coffee. Before he finish his coffee, he gather's information about the new worker starting and gives the worker instuctions on what to do. He shows the worker the office that they will be working in and tells the worker that if they want anything to let him know. After a very long day helping the new employee he was so tired that he went outside for fresh air and a cigarette to calm his nerves and to think what tasks to do next.

"The boss should be very pleased with me and I am so happy with what I have achieved in helping the new employee on their frist day at a new job.After the longest work day l could do with a stiff drink. It had been a good day at work but very stressful." he thought. He had some dinner and a drink and decided to go to bed. When he woke up he started to get ready for the next day of work. He started to feel more confident and now he knew what to do when he got down there.

He would tell the boss his new ideas to improve the work place and make his job more interesting. His new ideas are to updating the files with a new subject, change around the office funiture, and to make the ergonomics more comfortable. Now that Robert's boss said he had good ideas he began to enjoy each day more at work doing something more creative. When Rober went home he began thinking again until 12.00 am and came up with another great idea. He tossed and turned through the night only sleeping a few hours before getting up the next morning to tell others at work of new idea. Robert was so excited he woke up early preparing his plans to show his boss. When Robert got to work he first discussed his idea with his staff and then with his boss about what might improve the productivity work methods within his teams work place.

Robert thought a work gym would be a great idea as there was an unused area in the building which could be put to good use. The staff were really enthusiastic about the idea as they would have access to an affordable gym. They all agreed that it would encourage fitness so the staff would be healthier, therefore lifting work productivity. Robert wasn't sure they could convince the boss but surprisingly the boss thought it a good idea and his staff might be away less due to illness. Robert was pleased that they could have a work gym. When he went home from work at the end of the day he thought it was time to switch off from work for a while and he had a long sleep.
