Return to the Unknown
(This was written on the day I returned to work after the cruise)
I was in a cheery mood on my way to work this morning expecting to see my manager, Andrea, and have her tell me what would be going on today. She knew about everything and would be able to get me on track right away. I had left her a message or two explaining why I was not in the office yesterday and another asking what time I should be in today. I handn't heard back by the time I went to bed so I decided to be at work for 9am and the worst that would happen is I'd study for a while until they were ready for me.
Imagine my surprise when I come in to find her desk empty and when I ask around I find that she no longer works here! I have to admit I had a tiny panick attack that no one probably saw. I had gotten so close to her in the short time I'd known her that it was quite a shock to discover I would not have the pleasure of working with her.
As it turns out Catherine, my new manager, got me shadowing and arranged to have my trainer, Arthur, get me started on my final tests and here I am. I've finished the written test, which wasn't as bad as I thought, and am now awaiting my final test: the roleplay. I'm not nervous at all, I usually do well on these things. I just want to get it over with and get on to the real work. Will get back to you all later with the results.
(a while later)
OK so I was a lot more nervous at the beginning of the actual interview but I relaxed again once I for into my rythm. I thought I did pretty well but I'm still waiting on my results.
(some time later, scribbled)
So I did well, apparently, but they're not letting me do my real job, just setting appointments. We'll see how this goes.
(and you all saw the posts I made after this. All my complaints about my workplace. XD Yeah, I was right to worry)
