Eighth Day at Work Experience

Today, Wednesday the 21st of November was my 8th day at work experience.
When i arrived at 5 to 10 this morning the solicitors was not open. I waited outside for a few minutes and began to worry but luckily soon enough Maria came to open up the office. 
I then took a seat at my usual desk and then i asked should I stamp date the post and scan it as I do this every week. I then had to save the documents I had scanned into the correct files on the computer.
I then had to help Maria by trying to find a file for someone. I had to check in the presses in the office which involves searching alphabetically, and then upstairs in the board room. 
I was then given instruction to find "searches" for certain people. Maria then explained what searches are and told me how to find the one we were looking for.
The next task I was given was to search through a pile of miscellaneous files and find certain ones which they were looking for and place them in a pile all together.
Today I learned that I should really take innitiative more  because I found my self asking questions on what should I do such as "should I scan the post" but I do it every week so I should have confidence in doing it rather than asking all the time as I know it is my job to do it. 
I also learned to have confidence on the phone because today I had to answer the phone calls when the receptionist was out of the office,  and once you get over the first one it's not too bad.
