Day 1

So today was the first day of training at the new job. I'm working for the phone company now, and don't have an employee number just yet, so the update to the career part of the page will wait for a bit.

But yeah. These guys believe in training, training, training. 12 weeks. Four months. I don't graduate until March. Seriously. That's a long ass time.

I think it will be an interesting process. I have no expectations for this job. I took it because the pay was decent with the chance to make commission, and the benefits kick huge amounts of ass.

There are 18 of us, and we're in the basement, aka Floor -1. It's kinda neat working downtown; we've got tons of restaurants to choose from, and it will force me to get acquainted with an area I don't spend much time in. We get an hour for lunch -- which is amazing in a world where you have to cram food and whatever else into 30 minutes.

Anyway, we'll see how it goes. As class progresses, I'm sure I'll have more fodder for this space.
