Typical Day for a Project Administrator

8:30AM "There is not typical day. The first thing I do every morning at the office is grab a cup of coffee and check my emails and calendar on the computer for status updates."

9:15AM "I talk with several team members and learn that there has been some miscommunication on several tasks.

9:30AM "A meeting is called. The confusion is cleared up and everyone knows exactly what needs to be done.

10:00AM "It's quiet. Everyone is working hard to get the project done. Management will probably throw a big party for the team if the project is finished ahead of time and under budget. It feels good to be part of a winning team!"

12:00PM "Lunch. The team orders takeout from the local Chinese restaurant. Chicken & broccoli, wonton soup, egg rolls, and lo mein hits the spot."

1:00PM "Everybody settles back at their desk and surfs the internet for a little bit. It's hard to go back to work when you enjoyed a really good meal."

1:30PM "The vice president stops by to tell everyone they are doing a great job. Keep it up and there is a good chance there will be a nice party with great food."

2:00PM "The team is working hard. Who doesn't want a great party with awesome food?"

4:30PM "It's almost time to leave for the day. People want to beat the rush hour traffic home."

5:30PM "I love my job but I like tonight's dinner more:)"

7:00PM "Additional education is not required but I am taking college classes to advance my career and increase my salary.."
