Training week 1 day 1
The drive down here yesterday kind of sucked...dealing with the Bay Bridge and it's hellish traffic...yikes. I made it down to Richmond from Middletown in about 4 hours, got here and tried to make friends but people have already kind of built up their little cliques, so I walked around the little area the hotel is in for a little bit and came back to the room to surf the net / watch some netflix.
Got up early today, after breakfast I was off to the class room site. We spent the day going over some basic leadership 101 stuff, things like body language and tone of voice, also spent time teaching Walmart's corporate organization structure and meeting some of the local Regional leaders for this Region.
Went with some of the guys to Subway for lunch, came back and did some more class room stuff. After the class I had some time to meet my room mate while I waited for the wifi to come back up so I could do a hangout with Jeremy while we watch Arrested Development...sadly it didn't come back up until after I had dinner :(
Went and got a grilled chicken salad for dinner. I am determined not to gain any weight (and hopefully shed some pounds) while I am here. I hear from so many people that have gone through the training program that meals are covered so they eat super bad while they are here. Since I am going to be here for 2 months, I refuse to do that. I will eat scrambled eggs for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and a salad or a chicken quesadilla for dinner. Period.
I can't afford a 'manager gut' ... I don't have the cash for more new clothes :-P
Well anyway, I guess that's it. Tomorrow is another 8AM training day, but we will go spend some time in the store tomorrow, that ought to be nice :)
