Learning The Office Supplies Order Site
Monday, March 22nd, 2010The woman that I put in charge of ordering our office supplies is on vacation so I have to do it this week. She offered to go ahead and put in the order for the month, right before she left but I thought that it was something that I needed to learn anyway. She uses an online discount office supplies company and does everything through the web. I figured that it cannot be too hard; it might take me a little longer than what it takes her but I will get it.
Two of my other employees gave me a last minute order and that kind of threw me for a loop but I do this all the time to the girl who usually orders for me. I guess if she can handle last minute orders, then I should be able to handle last minute office supplies orders too.
It is quite funny to think that had she not taken vacation, I would still be clueless on how the online discount office supplies site works. People should really learn all of their employee’s jobs, just in case they actually have to do them one day. I am thinking that even having one additional person besides myself, that can do this would be a good idea.
