every day at work i have a quota to meet....which typically amounts to this...nearly 10-15 calls per day and 85-90 cases worked. thats a lot. i for the first two days was able to meet my quota. however, today, i wasnt able to meet that quota. i only got 56 cases done, in an 8 hour period. the worse part is that i didnt even have to answer phones today or for the next few weeks for that matter. how pathetic. a lot, i feel, has to do with how i was trained today. my trainer, did not understand that i am a hands-on learner. you can preach to me and educate me verbally till i am blue in the face, but i can guarantee you that i wont learn jack shit from it. i've always been that way since day one. my preschool teach mrs howard will tell you that. i've tried to change my learning style, but nothing has changed.
at any rate, the people in my bay are slowly opening up to me...so to speak. granted i sit at the end of the bay, thank god, cause i hate when people watch me work. but anyway, a few of them have talked to me on a regular basis now. the others...eh...not so sure about. the gay guy hasnt said a word to me since day one, the lady with the manly voice hasnt even acknowledged that i am alive. the runner chick, she's easing up. the fat lady, she's alright, she the only one thats jolly and talks to me. the filipina lady, not sure what to think of her, she's a loaner for sure, and she's retiring at the end of the month, so i dont give a shit about her, and she probably doesnt give a shit about me.
i have made any new friends at my new work, and i kinda like that. i am treating it strictly as work. i feel that this place is one in which, you are on your own. and such i treat as so. but i definitely dont want to get into the cubicle drama as most people are sucked into it. i dont care much about other people garbage when it come down to the nitty gritty. its bad enough that we have mandatory potlucks to tend to. people at my work love food. they see food and they have no problem eating it. come on now, they have potlucks every 2 weeks it seems like. kinda funny i think. it gives everyone a reason to have a 2 hour paid lunch. cant beat that. means i have time to run miscellaneous errands in and around my work, while people eat up and play scrabble or mad gabs.
i must say this...i definitely dont miss the customers at home depot. i miss my peeps tho. buddy i miss you too, you're like the little bro i never had. lindsay, i miss my lunch buddy. jasmin, i miss the talks about life with you. vicki...i miss the shit talking and horse play. anna, i've missed you since you left me and went to the vault...youre like a big sis to me...you, jasmin and lindsay. i definitely dont miss victor tho...ta hell with ya dude. mikey in appliances, i miss being your go to lady...you always knew how to cheer me up when the going got tough. buddy, jules and jasmin...when we gonna grub up on some sushi...yo? don in garden, eh man, i took your advice, i havent looked back since i left. sad part is, i have to go there tomorrow to buy some shit for the closet and some gift cards for my bros. oh well, at least i'm a customer now, and not donovan's bitch! i definitely miss you peeps!
