It's not really "list" stuff, most of it. The car insurance and office supplies are individual envelopes that stream in on a constant basis, the monthly reports are calendared as best as I can manage, but I'm only in the office where I can do them twice a week these days, they want me recruiting while I'm manning the front desk at the other office, but it's very hard to make outbound calls when you're supposed to be there to take incoming calls, and that's when you aren't being interrupted by agents in that office wanting you to fetch them envelopes, or asking if you've gotten and sorted the mail yet, or asking you how to work the scanner on the scanner/copier, or telling you that office machine x is out of paper, or they expect you to be able to contact IT to fix some issue when you know IT won't get back to them for days on something that probably is fixable in a few minutes, so you go and try to fix it for them, or someone comes in the door looking for an agent from a different office who decided to meet them at this office, and then when you can make a recruiting call or two, you're now recording that on your little spreadsheets at one office, but all the systems you spent the last two years implementing for yourself are all based around your computer back at the other office, where you have the peace but not the time to make recruiting calls, oh, and that's where you keep your written record of what's happened so you can call up the recruiters, hoping they'll answer their phone for a change, and follow up on appointments they've had to see if they failed yet again to tell you that they'd hired one of your appointments - thankfully since I also have to maintain a list of new hires to invite to our monthly orientation, I should eventually receive that info, but of course I get emails for new hires when I'm at the other office, meaning they don't always make the list right when it happens, so a lot depends on my remembering to go back and cross reference what happened in past days, assuming I have time to because I'm so busy catching up on all the work that wasn't getting done during the days I was in the other office....

*phew!*

I didn't choose the admin stuff. I was originally just in recruiting. It was thrust upon me after a large reduction in staff. Being glad to still be employed, I said nothing. But I really am wearing too many hats and it's stressing me out.
