just a bunchof big meanies?

Well we did a "group forum" at work today... spent approx. two hours discussing the course and the trainer... was it productive? definetly! did I feel mean afterwards? I dunno... my first thought is "no way, you get back what you dish out"... but then, looking at a whole whiteboard full of our public gripes about this and that... well, I really think "poor trainer" . With all honesty, I do feel that what was actually recorded was genuine feelings, and not personal vindictation... none of us really set out to rip a strip off anyone (well, I think some did, but it was kept professional) (I hope). but whats to come out of it? are we going to get an extra week of training? I really doubt it. are we going to get anything out of this? I'd like to say yes, but I'm really not sure... so we're utterly lost.... but can we field the calls? probably. are we going to be scared shitless when we take the first call? definetly. do most classes go through the same feelings? yeah, I think so... I mean, sure, compared to other people we don't feel as though we've gotten the same caliber of training... but we all know how to use the systems... so theoretically we all know how to handle every single call - its all there if you can find it...

I dunno... I'd rather have more training, but I'd rather stay in training for the rest of the summer too.... sometimes you just have to suck up and do your best. and if you've got rotten lemons... well... throw them at unsuspecting pedestrians... hehe... or use them for fertilizer. whatever.

mmmmm... I do love music. many many many types of music. But if I had to pick a 'favourite' genre... well, it would definitely be the planet that Jack Johnson comes from. I say planet because he's in a world of his own sometimes... to me, it seems that a musician that you can listen to on repeat for 3 days straight... and then leave for a while, and then come back and realize that you love it even more so you play it for 3 more weeks straight just because you 'missed it'... well, that musician is a great one. I'm sure my roommates have been forced into loving (or at least tolerating) Jack Johnson now... hehe

But anyways, the point for the Blog - I BOUGHT A CD! hehe. I very rarely buy cds, and almost never at a real store (i.e. new in wrapping rather than second hand). In fact, in the last 6+ years the only new cd's that I have purchased are Mathew Good, and this one - Jack Johnson (In Between Dreams). That purchasing habit doesn't affect my music collection, I've still got around 9000 songs on the computer, but there's something so exciting about buying a new cd and just sitting and listening to it. not doing anything but listening for a good few hours. ahhhhh... I think I might become addicted to this, which would really be rather expensive... not so good!

Oh, on that note - Convergys is working out just fine :D Aside from some snags. i.e. we are terrifically SLOW at getting through any lessons... and really spend far too much time playing games... errr, participating in 'listening exercises'... but all in all its not so consequential... and free time is usually well spent. Did I mention that the people there are really fantastic? Not just the employer part, but my peers as well... and cute by my measures too ;) ahhhh... life is good!

well, I have a CD to continue listening to...

peace <><
