First Day of Training....
It's 1:25 and I just got back from my first day of customer service training at PT Job - EIGHT FLIPPING HOURS!!!!
I'm going to be doing support and sales for a cable company that primarily operates in the North and Mid-West. And dear sweet lord.... I never thought that learning about tv could be so boring!!!!
It didn't help that the trainer wasn't really a trainer, but a senior rep who apparently wasn't told what he was supposed to be teaching and didn't really want to be there. People, we spent a good 35 minutes just talking about a channel line up... basic cable, cable expanded, digital cable, hgtv, packages, premium, video-on-demand.... He went through each... and every.... cable channel!!!!
There was one bright spot though... met a really cute guy!! I only know his last name because when they called it in roll, I thought they were saying his last name first... Last name is Francis.. Will have to check out his name badge tomorrow for the first name...
He moved down to Florida from Ohio with his parents 12 years ago and I'm guessing he's in his mid twenties... Dear god I hope not much younger than that!! A little taller than me, blond and very geek chic. He's studying at ITT Tech in addition to working FT with the company, and LOVES BBC AMERICA SHOWS and movies!!! Even the really quirky off-beat ones like Little Britain.
And he just seems like a really fun guy to (at the very least) hang out with - we were cracking jokes to each other for the last half of the evening (after the 4 hour HR session!!!) I'm hoping we get put on the same schedule Even though I will only be on Part Time. I'm not sure if I'll have the balls enough to give him my number - even if it is just to hang out. I haven't much experience with that type of thing and I fear making a collossal ass of myself.
Other than that, I think the job will be a pain in the ass at times (like most jobs), but doable. We'll see how it goes.
More tomorrow... Much love!
