Respite

I am SO glad this week is over!

My trainer was supposed to spend time with me this morning, training me on how to run statements.

Then, the plan was to finish clearing out the old files in my office, the boxes I packed two weeks ago, and to re-arrange furniture between my office and my billers' office, so I could get my desk with a keyboard tray.

She was going to order us pizza, and we all wore jeans.

What actually happened, was my trainer spent about 10 minutes with me, started that statements project, and then she was on a conference call for THREE HOURS.

Three hours.
Yeah.
I was in limbo that whole time, because I had to leave my terminal up and running, waiting for the project she left me in the middle of to get finished.

I did what I could, after a while. Emptied desk drawers, and put away my personal items, in anticipation of trading my desk out for the empty one in my girls' office.

But mostly, I waited. Gawd.

One of the girls finally went and interrupted her and got her credit card so we could order our pizza. It was 1 pm and we were STARVING.

The pizza came, and we all punched out and ate in their office. I sat on the floor. They had gotten a LOT done, because they were able to disconnect everything.

FINALLY, she got off the phone, and finished the statements herself. I never got to learn what I am supposed to do, so when it's time to do statements next month, I will be clueless!

After our late lunch, we got back to work, and some of the guys from maintenance finally showed up and helped move the heavy stuff.

I got my new desk, and my new book case (both just swapped out with the other room), and got stuff sort of organized.

There was a lot of heavy lifting and furniture moving in a concentrated few hours, so I am sore and exhausted....and what a CROCK of crap for training I got!

She's on vacation next week, and I just have to wing it! I've heard, through the grapevine, that saying that my training sucked is not an acceptable excuse when my poor job performance comes up...and it will!

Great.

Document exactly how much time you got each day. Write it down. You probably won't need it, but still. And in the meantime, see if you can figure some of that stuff our yourself, or ask around. The more you can learn on your own, the better! Good luck, P.
