All right. Let's see what could possibly be added to all of the extensive information I've already provided...
Basically, we spent quite a large amount of time of a self paced computer tutorial things that teaches you lots of information about the Credit Union, currency(money), and every other aspect of the whole financial institution stuff. This part sucked severely. I kept feeling completely drained after those days because I was having to work double time to catch up with the other people in my training group that are there for complete days unlike myself since I'm only available after the lunch period, which means I miss about 4 hours of class time.
Anyway, I've gone out to one of the branches a few days so far. One day I just sat back and observed the entire time, but the most recent visits I was doing all of the transactions and such with someone watching over my shoulder to make sure that I didn't screw up too terribly. So far, I haven't lost any money.
OH! Shit, I almost forgot. I got to rob one of the branches of the Credit Union(note the use of Credit Union instead of bank. They constantly preach to us that they are a Credit Union and not a bank). Well, not really rob it. I got to take a piece of paper to the teller line that said something to the effect of "This is a simulated robbery:" And it had a picture of a semi-automatic hand gun on it. We got to pick which weapon we wanted between the semi-auto handgun, a revolver, an uzi, or a sawed off shotgun. I thought most of them seemed ridiculous. So, I went in gave them my note and they gave me.... "All my money" or rather all of their money, which consisted of a piece of paper that said "All my money" on it. And then I walked out, drove around the block, and then came back to drop the note off on the Loss Management guy's desk.
After that I headed to the other branch to go be a teller, and not be robbed.
It's been a good experience so far. The pay is better than I've had at my other jobs so I can't complain. I'm looking forward to going to a branch and not having someone stand over my shoulder though. That will be nice.
I don't know what else to say that really seems like a decent overview of what we've been doing.
Monday is my "Final exam". So, I hope I do well on that.
I hope everyone is doing well.
I will try to post more frequently(I say it everytime and it never happens, but I have to say it.)
