FIRST DAY IS OVER

I'm not going to post everday about this...so I'm discussing the first day and that's it.

We dove straight in on the bugs. I'm very very proud of myself!! The ones that we studied today were the many different kinds of termites, carpenter ants, bees, beetles and I can't remember the other one. The pictures were not that bad. I am, like I said, so very proud of myself. I didn't have a panic attack, I was calm, didn't jump, feel like fainting or running...all was good.

We learned so much stuff that my brain is literally over whelmed. We learned about construction, foundations, pesticides, equipment....oy!!!

The classroom was 40+ people...and included outside sales, call center sales, exterminators...so it was a big melting pot of all of us...but we have to know every corner of the job.

We still haven't gone over roaches or spiders...in which is my worse....the ones above really don't bother me as much so that's probably why I didn't have a problem with it...but I"m going to try and keep my mind set on how I handled today....I know things will be okay.

We have to take a state test within the year...so until then I'm in training.

The strange thing is, they told us today that we aren't allowed to talk to any of the call center people, we can't use the break room unless we are getting a soda...we basically DO NOT EXIST to any of them until we are actually sitting at the desk and on the phone. I know that doesn't sound bad, but the way she said it, it was pretty damn bitchy.

I have two friends that work there....one was sick today and the other I just slyly waved at...heaven forbid I piss anyone off on the first day....damn!!!

The morning commute took me 40 minutes...the coming home commute took me an hour. I hate, HATE the traffic part of this.

So....that was my first day.

Sadey screamed at me when I walked through the door...she is very sick...has been for the past week and I hate leaving her home, but there isn't anything I can do about it right now. She's use to me being home the past 7 months, which she has loved, but now that she is sick...man it scares the shit out of me.

Late-

SO IT BEGINS...

I start my new job in the morning. I get to be the newbie again, I haven't been the newbie in over 11 years. I'm scared, for many reasons, but I know that I will be just fine. I'm happy and relieved that I'm at least not going into this alone b/c I do have two friends that work there. One in which will be my boss...strange but it's not a big deal.

So I touched up my roots, cut my bangs, did my laundry, took my shower and now I smell like a Japanese Cherry Blossom...waiting for my new bed time. My alarm will go off at 530am tomorrow and I get to experience my first real commute to a big city job.
