I'm a workin' girl
So I started my new job on Monday. So far I'm really liking it. Training is for 2 weeks and it's pretty crazy how much information they throw at you in one day. I actually came out of my shell by the second day and I feel really comfortable and confident. I guess I just never knew my potential! I am actually going up to the shy people. Everyone on my team is really nice and I really like the product we support. I signed a non-disclosure agreement so I am never allowed to say the company I am providing support for but I can tell you that the product hasn't even launched yet, which is pretty exciting. It's a brand new company and the 30 or so people on our account are the only Customer Service Agents in the US. I'm learning a lot and meeting new people and I'm feeling really good about it.
Monday I had an interesting experience. I was unaware that on the MAX blue line there is a train that stops at a certain point and then goes "out of service". I was supposed to get off at the last stop but stupid me stayed on. So the MAX train slows down a lot and I look around and I'm the only person on it. So I thought it was a little weird. Then the train starts turning into the 'train parking lot' type thing. Then it pulls up and stops. The driver gets out and runs to another train. He obviously didn't see that I was still on the train so I ran after him and I was like "Hey! Was I supposed to get off?" Well he tried to make me feel better about it because I was really embarassed. I was also really freaked out because I thought I was going to get stuck on the train. So the guy attached some trains together and then let me out of the gate and I called Adam to come get me. That was my first MAX experience in a long time, and it wasn't good. But luckily there have been no problems since.
I can't wait for my first paycheck.
