Justice

Seems like there is justice in this world.
I'm way behind on publishing this post though.
I found out that the person that fired me, was also fired about 2-3 weeks ago! And "he" was escorted by campus police. It came 3 months too late. My termination could have been prevented.

Don't you just love Karma? I do!

I'm going camping this weekend. Can't wait!

Be careful what you wish for. That is what comes to mind. Now I know why we went through so much training. We were finally able to answer calls on the third week. We are literally human punching bags. We basically just sit there and let the customers yell at us like there is no tomorrow! And all we do is apologize and empathize....

I did meet some really interesting people though at work. I think a couple of them are Athiest.

I found out that one of the guys I work with is none other than the son-in law of the douche bag that fired me and turns out he can't stand him either! What a small world.

Seriously. How much customer service training can you give a person? Some of the material tells us how to have proper phone etiquette, and how to say "please" and "thank you". And they keep stressing how we need to work on our "soft skills". It is redundant and boring! And most of it is just common sense. It's common sense to be professional, it's common sense to apologize when you make a mistake, it's common sense to say thank you when necessary! This training is extremely offensive. Not to mention that the age range is from 17-22 (there are about 3 older adults and there are about 20 in the group)!! I feel totally out of place! I guess the narcissist generation needs this extensive training!

New Job

Starting a new job is always a hard task. You need to start over and learn new things. Although, this company really takes this seriously. We are in training for 6 weeks before we actually start working. I feel like somehow I'm in school again. We are in a classroom all day, interacting and learning new material. The group is bilingual. It feels nice to be able to switch languages without the fear of making sure they understand you! Pero aun asi me siento fuera de lugar. Es una corporacion y eh estado acostumbrada a trabajar para organizaciones no lucrativas. Me siento un poco frustrada porque hay personas de 17 anos y no toman el trabajo con seriedad. Y siento que estoy perdiendo mi tiempo con ellos. Pero ya veremos...

New job

Thursday was orientation for the new job I start on Monday. I made the mistake of staying up too late on Wednesday (went to bed at 2 a.m.) and on top of that I had a few drinks (ok, I had a little tiny bit more than a few). The orientation wasn't until 10 a.m. and I didn't think it would be a big deal. Big mistake! Not only did I not get enough sleep, but I was still drunk! I had a hard time waking up, I had a pounding headache, and I barely made it on time. This is my last week of free time, so what the hell!

Augh! So dissapointed today! I was on my way to the power yoga class, and the lady that teaches the class is on vacation. So, everyone sees me walk in with my matt in hand and asks me; "oh, are you teaching the class?" I've only taken this class twice, what makes them think I can teach this class? Hmmmm....there's an idea... Certified in power yoga, and maybe even Zumba? Certification for Zumba is $200! But, I bet it would be worth it. It will have to wait though because I have no money! Maybe I can get the Y to pay for half of it.

I found a job! I start on Aug 3rd. I'm so ready to get busy. Can't believe I've been unemployed for 3 months!

For my friend Kealy...I have been separated since January, and at first he moved out, and everything was great. Then he moved back in back in March (don't ask me why!). Then I moved out because he wouldn't budge. And I've been on the road ever since! Just a brief summary for you until I can call you with details.

This is probably why i have fel lost. I have no job, no home, and I put my education on hold.
Oh! And I'm staying with my friend.
