Distance makes the heart grow fonder...I wish I knew if this was true or not :o/
The new job has been treating me well so far. Training is kind of slow but I've met a few people in the class who help it go by kinda quick. I am just looking forward to getting to my branch. I want to start interacting with the customers instead of a computer screen all day; start building up my referrals so that I can start building up my bonus! Show them what I can do so that hopefully in nine months when I am able to be promoted, I will be!
The only issue about my new job though is that fact that everything they are teaching me in training, when I "shadowed" at my branch, they didn't do any of it. You are supposed to run a calculator tape for your whole shift. If you don't, it is an audit violation...you could lose your bonus at the end of the quarter. While at my branch, not one girl did it. They didn't count their money in front of the vault custodian, hand out referrals, place holds on any checks, keep their drawers locked...I'm sure I could go on. I feel like I'm being placed in the "Oakland Mall" of Charter One banks (My C.R. people will know what this means) and I can't do anything to change it or control it. I can only control what I do. I don't know how to react to this situation since I have always worked in the "Lakeside Mall" of Charter One. We'll see...
My class is going okay. I wish it would end already though. I've been good and have been attending almost every class, so I know what's going on for the most part. Right now I am trying to decide what I am going to take in the spring and summer sesions. I will most likely be taking MTH 122 in the spring and IS in one of the two. I just need to pick out another class. I wish I didn't have so much to make up, but oh well. I want to be out of college sometime in the next 10 years! :o) I want to be that person all dressed in their business clothes, waiting in line at the Starbucks like I saw this morning. One day...
On a side note, I am in LOVE with those little townhouses behind the Einstein Bagels and Starbucks in Downtown Dearborn. I want one so badly!
Another thing I want badly is for you to get over whatever issue you have right now. I wish you would stop telling me to go find someone with a college degree, as if money means the world to me. I don't care that you don't have a college degree; I don't care that you want to work in retail...I DO care that you are happy, and if that is what you want to do, that that is what I want you to do. I don't plan on not having a job...I'd go crazy without something to do so I don't need someone to "take care of me". You enjoy being with me. You KNOW I enjoy being with you. Stop trying to push me away because it isn't going to work. I WANT to be with you. I want to take care of you...I will wait as long as it takes...
Finally, Katie from AST called me today. She said that the sisters decided they want me to join them, so in a few weeks I am going to be a sorority girl! :o) I am pretty excited about that. I am looking forward to making some awesome friends and having some great times in the near (and far) future!
That's all I got. I'm sleepy so I'm off to bed. 6:30 AM comes way too early...
G'night
