A Day at Work I've been working for five years in full-time employment. I'm a staff member of the real estate department of my company that has dozens of properties such as office buildings, apartments, and shopping malls. Our office hour starts at 9 am and finishes at 5 pm, although most employees often work overtime. I spend most of a workday answering the various inquiry from business partners and residents who rent our buildings. Also, making a pile of documents for lucrative contracts and frequent meetings are my important but arduous duties. My office is on the first floor in a neat office building that my company owns. In the building, there are comfortable rest areas for workers where classical music is played softly in the background. I sometimes head to the areas during working to take my mind off for a while and recharge my batteries. Honestly, I have somewhat difficulty getting on well with my old-fashioned senior colleagues and arrogant customers who often drive me up the wall, but I'm surviving thanks to the amenities of the office building where I work.

My Days at Work

I have been working full-time for the past five years as a staff member in the real estate department of a rather large company. The office hours are from 9 am to 5 pm, but most employees often work overtime. The company has dozens of properties such as office buildings, apartments, and shopping malls, and I spend most of my workday responding to the various inquiries from those who have rented, or who wish to rent, one of our properties (lawyers, business owners, and prospective residents).

I also create, as well as manage, the mountains of paperwork that are necessary in properly documenting these lucrative transactions, in addition to setting up the numerous, if not frequent, meetings as part of my somewhat tedious, but important duties. My office is located on the first floor of a neat, modern, company-owned office building, one within which, there are comfortable rest areas where classical music plays softly in the background. I occasionally go there to relax, to take my mind off work for a while, and to recharge my batteries.

In all honesty, I do confess to having moments of frustration, in putting up with my senior colleagues, who are too old-fashioned, and the infrequent, but arrogant clients, both of whom often drive me up the wall. However, I am able to survive quite nicely, thanks to the wonderful environment and amenities within the office building where I spend my days at work.*

Hi, Yuko. Good job! The changes that I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify and explain your ideas, and for ease of reading. Apologies if I misinterpreted your thoughts!  I hope that this helps you. J. 

*My only suggestion is to combine your shorter sentences into a more descriptive one.
