thank you.
i really don't want to do this training session. i hate talking on the phone. but i am in my own element, with no faces (other than my boss) staring at me. i hope, i really hope this stupid training session is fast. as in, less than an hour fast. then i might just go treat myself out to lunch today as a reward. if i survive it. ha.

one confusing thing about my job, is the project management side of it. they are training me (conditioning me?) to become a project manager where i will deal with an entire design project: from conception to design phase to roll out to support phase. these parts are very detailed, with lots of sub-phases and each phase has a time amount set to it, not to mention the budget of the project. time = money right, so everything needs to add up *in our favor* every time.
i have no real experience with this. i would love to learn it and do it, it would be great for me professionally. but, i'm not good with numbers. and we don't track our time in the normal convention: with your straight 40 hours a week salary. we have to account for almost every hour of every day. that i'm not used to. does anyone out there have experience with this kind of thing? they aren't nazi's about it, but this is a very performance-focused atmosphere. they are super cool, don't get me wrong.
