Day 2

The second day of training.

We're still not into the meat of things. We watched several PowerPoint presentations (omg, gag), did more paperwork, did a few exercises and ate big bags of *real* popcorn that could be had for 50 cents a bag (with real butter!).

I tried to find street parking and gave up after 10 minutes. I don't mind paying $2.50 for the day -- after living in the Bay Area, it's a bargain. I'll be getting a monthly pass, at least for the rest of November.

I guess we're supposed to get some folks in tomorrow to talk about the employee discounts we get and all that good stuff. I don't have reason to believe these folks won't make good on what they promise. They apparently hand out gift cards like water for performance and sales. Several bonuses are on the spot type deals, others are weekly and monthly, and still others are quarterly. If they deliver what they promise, and from talking to other employees they do, it should be easy to snag some of those incentives.

Works for me. :D
