Tired thoughts
Apr. 8th, 2003 10:06 pmNot much to say. I'm home. I'm tired.
One of the more weird moments of the day: someone called up to play loud rave music through the phone lines at me.
One of the other things that happened: one of our number up and quit. He was the oldest member of the original class we'd taken, in his fifties. No idea why, especially since he had worked for an MCI call center in the past. Apparently he just said, "I can't do this," then got up and walked out. Too bad...I kind of liked him.
The middle of the day was interrupted by this lengthy Mandatory Training session on "Standard Operating Procedures," which came with a thick manual describing Procedure This and Procedure That. Without going into too much detail, the procedure and our Abay trainer disagreed on one point that confused me substantially. I'm going to ask one of the instructors of the original training class about it tomorrow, if I can find him.
On the advice of the parents, I've dashed off an email to the landlord asking if I could move some boxes into the empty apartment over the next few days, so there would be less to move when it comes time to put everything in. It seems like a good idea to me, if I can do it...as moving those things out would also clean up my room to a substantial degree and make it seem less like a hopeless task.
And now to shower and bed.
