First Training Day/ First Day of Summer Class

So before I tell you guys all the interesting and wondrous things that happened today. I can just say two things occurred to me about how this week will play out. First off I don't think I'll be able to train this week being as I have training all week and I start my first shift this weekend so I won't have time to train in the morning. Its a good thing its only this week or else ha ha I wouldn't be able to work at all. Secondly I don't think anyone at Applewoods has seen me so furious before in my life I pretty much bit my friends head off for his lack of competence. I honestly had no intention of screaming bloody murder over the phone ha ha. I already had a bad start because my parents though they could pull a very unintelligent move this morning so that made me irritated then having my ride be late on my first day of training made me even more angry so I just went off roaring with flames leaking from my non existent snout.

So now that's settled my first day of work went by starting out kind of jittery and nervous. I don't just start making random conversations with people and to hold that conversation pretending to care. I also had no real idea what I was doing so it was just oh my gawd oh my gawd I don't know what I'm doing. Then eventually I caught on how to work there pretty quickly. Honestly if all I had to do was bring them there drinks and food and pay the check with occasional conversation then I would be perfect.....sadly however thats not the case we have to engage with the customer and eventually develop regulars. I'll of course have to treat it like I do with most people I am forced to talk to. Pretend to have interest in what they have to say and care about what goes on in their life. Honestly I could care less I'm here to serve you food not be your home away from home although I think thats how it works being a Hooters Girl I mean. My trainer Sara is really nice and the girls I met today are nice as well I like them however I question there common sense intellect. All together I learned pretty fast how things work around there. I think I'll be okay if I just do what Jeff (general manage)told me "Who ever you are outside this building gets left behind once you walk through that door"

Finally my first day of class at PGCC it started out pretty well I ran into my friend Amaedi and Margot if your reading this then haha no I didn't ask what she is doing major wise I forgot. We chatted before our classes started. My professor for the day (she was a temp) made me love how I finally realized how smart I was because some of the questions she asked I already knew and when I answered them she gave me a look of shush I don't want you to answer it that way. Also I've already been labeled as a hypocrite future vet. It all started with me giving an honest logical answer with no emotions attached. She asked what would happen to the squirrel if you cut down the tree it lived in now keep in mind she said one tree just one. Not two not a hundred but one so I said very honestly and bluntly "Ummm the squirrel will look for another tree" I suppose the way I answered it should have been more sensitive concerning myself with this squirrel's personal problems. It slowly occurred to my professor that I didn't particularly care for squirrels I didn't tell her the back story. All I said was that they were jerks and they started it first! Then it pretty much was a short battle of the smarts I however decided to back out from time to time so I don't seem like a total bitch. I say this because my original debate was with an older woman I had a counter answer to everything she said. This I've come to learn pisses a lot of people off...sucks for them ha ha. Thats all for today ciao!
