nTelos Drama

We're only in the second week of training at nTelos and I think one of the trainee's got fired.
I heard he went off on a couple of the other trainee's during a group game and when we all went up to moniter he had to go see one of the managers.
Today when we came back into the "classroom" after a soft skills class (the first time we've done that) our "teacher" talked to him out in the hall then me and one of my work friends saw him walking towards the parking lot. We don't know if he got fired or what.

Hell No!

I had the worst dream last night. I drempt that I went back to my old job at Kroger (which I hated). Boy was I glad when I woke up and realised that it was just a dream. Working in a grocery store is absolute hell. I can only imagine what a bitch it would be to work in Wal-Mart.

Doggy On The Dashboard

Why is it when someone is talking in order to look interested the listener will bob their head? A dnot only do they bob their head but the REALLY bob it, I'm talking a doggy on the dashboard bob.

Then there's the "uh-huh" the listener says after each of the speakers sentances. Why can't people stay still and look at the person talking?

Update

Training is going well at my new job, I can't wait until we get out new phones because there are some people who won't be getting my new number.
Anyway I'm learnin alot here and have already decided that when I get onto the floor I'm going to win the next phone they give away for most sales. The one they're giving away this time is a Motorola Manderin Rokr. It's okay I guess, I just want to win something, I've very competitive.

I'm prostitiuting my dog. A male was brought to our house to breed with her so hopefully everything turns out well and we get some Boston Terrier puppies.

Child Disipline

Okay people, notice something strange about kids today? Most of them are spoiled little ASSHOLES. Gee, wonder why. I think it's because alot of parents today think physical punishment is wrong. It's okay to spank your kids, really it is. As long as you don't go overboard and smack them across the face or beat them until they can't walk. I even know people (like my Father) who won't put kids in the corner for time out. It's just stupid! This is why kids don't have respect and grow up to be whiney shit-heads. So thank you for ruining your kids and setting them free on the rest of society.

On Abortion

Now I know this topic will really fire some people up so please, don't hold back and tell me what you feel.

Although abortion is something I'd never do (unless I find out something's wrong with the baby that will cause it pain & suffering it's entire life) I am COMPLETLY pro-choice. I believe it is the woman's choice and no one, especially a MAN should tell her it's wrong. A man will never have to make this choice because it's not their body. It sure makes it easy to pass judgement on someone when you never have to go through what they are. Now this opinion only goes for abortion before the three month mark (after which is illegal in the U.S.A.). Partail birth abortions are wrong. If you go through the pregnancy don't suddenly decide when you're six months pregnant to get an abortion. Give the kid up for adoption.

Now for those of you who think ALL abortion is wrong let me point out a few things. What if a woman gets raped and becomes pregnant from the rape? What if a woman (or young teenage girl) doesn't have the means to support a child? What if (through genetic testing) the woman find out the child has some horrible disease? And what if the woman's body is reacting badly to the pregnancy and risks her own life for a pregnancy that won't even reach full term?
Think about that before passing judgment.

Calling Customer Care

Okay people, something you should know when you call customer care (at least with cellular companies) is:
When they put you on hold...they can still HEAR YOU. You see sometimes they don't put you on hold, they just press mute so they can look up things and you can't hear what they're doing. So be warned, if you fart, curse, flush the toilet, etc. they can hear you.

Now, something else, if you call to change your billing address, have the new address written down. Something I find funny is when people call in wanting to know why their phone as been turned off. It's because they didn't pay the bill! Come on now, if you don't pay your bills things get turned off, common-freakin-sense.

Aww Hell

Let me start by saying I have the koolest freakin' parents like...ever. On my way to work this morning I got pulled over for speeding in a school zone. Now I was busy paying attention to the stupid RPM gadge on the explorer so I didn't see the school zone sign. After I got the ticket I was freaking out because my Dad said that I'll get taken off the insurance after my first ticket. When I got into work I called my mom and she told my dad. Luckily they're not pissed and I can get the ticket taken care of by taking some stupid driver improvment class. Hopefully I'll have enough money left over to get my car. I should, depends on how much the government take out of me for taxes. Anyway I'm just uber-glad that my parents are being so kool about this.

A day at my job

I think the part I like the most so far is monitering. It's when they put one of us trainees with another rep and we listen in on their calls. It's pretty interesting but I can't help but think how long it'll take for me to be able to fly through all the screens like they do. It's funny when people call all pissed about something that's their fault (like their phone getting turned off). Oh yesterday this lady called in wanting full phone records (calls, texts, ect.). The rep I was with said one time he got a woman who specifically said she wanted her husband's phone records. Man, I could get alot of ideas for stories and stuff from this job.

First week in the 'real' world

This week I started my first full time job, fun.

Actually it's not that bad. I work for a nTelos and I'm in training for the next three weeks. I thought this job would blow but I kinda like it. I can't wait to start really doing stuff like learning the different cell plans and such. I'm excited (and nervous) about going onto the floor (I'm a customer service rep btw).

Something I was worried about coming into the job was that I'd be the youngest person here but I'm not. One of my fellow trainees is my age and we get alone really well. I actually get along with everyone I've talked to so that's good.

I can't wait until training's done I can start helping people, sure I'll have to deal with pissed off people but I won't mind, I'm getting paid good money (not to mention good benefits) to deal with them so it'll be worth it.
