I feel I should follow up on work. ;)
Everything is going fine. Taking calls isn't as hard as I thought it would be. Though I do tens to stress a bit with my stats. (it doesn't help that my older brother is a trainer there and he always checks my stats the counsel me about how to improve them.) I just got out of training for crying out loud! Leave me be!
Seriously though, I think everything is going to be fine. Though I'm not sure how well I'll do with french calls. But I'll cross that bridge when I get there!

Oops!
Okay so I kinda forgot to update my blog. My bad!
The past two weeks have kinda been very similar. I worked. And I did little else.
I did get to go to Logan for my friend Emily's FHE. It was great to see everyone there. I brought the chips! (though I bought too many, oh well.)
It was good to see Em. It had been 3 whole weeks since I had seen her and it felt like forever! I hope i get to see her again this coming month.
Good News!!
I got my shift changed to Sundays and Tuesdays off! I don't have to change wards for July! Yeah! This will probably also make my bishopric happier too. :)
I've decided to go ahead and host a Lia Sophia party. (mainly to get the necklace I previously ordered as a hostess gift.) Though I find the jewelry to be too expensive, especially in this economy. I kinda feel bad, but I told the lady that I'd host a party for her and I don't like lying. even if it is for a good reason.
My grandma has been driving me crazy, as usual. But I only have a couple weeks til she goes on a two week vacation! Sweet freedom!
Well, I really must go to bed now. (this bedtime has become a bad habit!)

Second Week Down...
So I just finished my second week of training. I must admit I'm worried about Monday. We took live calls for the last 30 min of our shift on Friday. I didn't do so well. I don't know that I'm cut out for this. I'm just too nice.
You see, I work in a call center. We take calls for a hotel chain and book rooms for people. (they call us.) But we're still pressured into selling the highest priced room to our guests. I'm just not that pushy. If a person doesn't want it, they don't want it. I'm not one to talk people into spending money. (I fell too guilty.)
But I must admit that getting paid for one week, and seeing an amount that I usually would earn in a month at my last job, does help a bit. *sigh* oh well. Everything will work out, I hope.
My grandma is still driving me crazy. She likes to focus on topics that make me uncomfortable. She wants to sit and discuss them in length. Then she gets mad at me when I don't want to talk about it! It's so frustrating. She won't just drop it.
I spent most of the day with her today. She just never shuts up! I think the longest pause I had (which I thoroughly enjoyed) was about 45sec long. Why do people have to talk non stop? Are they not comfortable with a little silence? I'd turn on the radio, but she thinks it's rude. I just can't stand listening to her go on and on all the time. It drives me nuts! And I'm finding that I care less and less about what she has to say. It worries me that I'm becoming insensitive.
If you have any ideas, let me know!

Monotony
So this week went by in a blur of 8 hr work shifts. I must say i'm not to enthralled with the idea of going back to it tomorrow. (I need a longer break!) What ever happened to summer being a break from things? *sigh* I guess I get to wait til I'm a teacher for that!
I had another tiff with my grandma on Saturday. She's so grouchy sometimes!
Thankfully Nicole rescued me. She came over and did some laundry and my grandma was nice the whole time she was there. Thanks!
Nicole and I saw Land of the Lost on Friday night. It was stupid. Really stupid. But we were so slap happy we laughed through the whole movie. (not worth the price of the ticket though!) We both actually felt a bit more stupid for having watched it, if that is possible. If you must see this movie, wait til it is at the cheap theatre or even at Redbox. Seriously! Don't waste your money!
I also got to see Valkyrie. Great movie. I only wish their plan had succedded. It would have saved millions of lives!
Well, I've stayed up late enough! Goodnight!

Daily Dilemma
So guess what i got this morning? An email from the first company i interviewed with. They wanted to offer me a job too! *sigh* So I called my mom and we talked it over. Then I thought some more and sent the lady and email.
I decided to stay with the job I already accepted. Though I have slight issues with it, it pays more and the hours are more stable.
I hope I did the right thing!

New Job!
So, last thursday they tell me that they actually do want me to come in and interview Monday morning, right? So i went in. The interview went well. The guy said he was going to tell HR to go ahead and offer me a job! Then he says, go ahead and show up at 3pm. If someone from the class doesn't show up, you've got the job.
Well, luckily for me, there was a person that didn't come! Hello income! I figure that $12.25/hr isn't too shabby. :p Especially after getting $7.50 an hour for a year! I'll actually have spending money. Weird! :D
The only problem is that the only schedule they had available for July (after my training) is 1:30 - 10pm with Mon and Tuesday off. So I'll not be able to go to church with Nicole anymore. :( and I just was sked to be the ward music coordinator and chorister. I feel really bad that I'll have to tell my Bishop about the job implications.
I'm praying that I can switch to a different shift before July! Wish me luck!
