They say that a good secretary need to have a good filing system to be effective.  My first day in the office was spent reviewing all work that I had missed,  clearing my table of unnecessary papers, reading and deleting old mails in my computer and meeting my colleagues to keep me updated with work and latest happenings in the hospital.   I was overwhelmed with well-wishers who stopped by to welcome me, especially those staff under my section.  They were more than glad to see me.  Now, they are starting to bug me with their endless request- vacation leave, exit-reentry visa, etc.  

It’s good that I dealt with piles of file on my first day of work.  I am now dealing with day to day work as it comes.  No pending or backlogs.  I love my work!
