You See, I Have This Amazing and Totally Relevant Skill Set

I've worked at my new job for going on six weeks now. I still don't know what I'm supposed to be doing.

However, there is one advantage to that: I get a chance daily to practice my stellar acting skills.

Since my desk is in the office common area, people are constantly stopping at my desk to tell me their work (and a lot of the time non-work) related problems.

I smile or frown as necessary. And I shake my head up and down or back and forth.

Sometimes, by reading their body language and tone, I can even tell when I'm supposed to be indignant.

I widen my eyes and even though I have no idea what they're talking about say, "You have GOT to be kidding me! Isn't that what he said last time? Ohmygosh. Like, hasn't he figured that out yet?"
