When I got in to work on Monday, I found out my boss was on holiday for a week and wasn't going to be in, but he had given somebody else a list of things for me to do. The first thing on the list was to go through nearly 700 clients on the database and see if they had an email listed. So I had to search each and every one and if they had one listed type "yes", and if they didn't type "no".
After that was finished, I was told I had to search all the clients marked with a "no" and see if they had an email listed anywhere in their individual folders. It wasn't too difficult of work, but there were over 400 clients that didn't have an email listed, so I had to go through all of their files under their adviser and try to find one listed in some document. I also did some filing for the company by taking the folders out of the filing cabinet and putting them in boxes to be stored.
The thing that really hit me was how people can take over a week vacation whenever they want, and still be able to take regular days off when they feel like it. In the states, you're lucky to get that week off all at once. I guess it's one of the perks of living in an expensive city such as London.
