Today was my first Saturday working by myself! I have worked everyday from Monday-Friday with other people, and my manager thought this week was the perfect week to start on my own. I got one day off of the week, and then it was off to 9am Saturday shift to myself. At first I was really nervous, but my co workers told me if anything was to happen to contact them. The day started off pretty slow, but then at about 1130 it started to pick up with people coming with things like: signing a sublease, doing a walkthrough of an apartment, showing an apartment, talking to upset tenants on why the pool was close. I only had to call my manager once, but she was very helpful through it all. I work another Saturday in two weeks, and hope it goes as well as this one!
