Been working a lot lately
Tuesday, April 15th, 2003 12:50 pmBut that's ok, cos last night I had a star pupil to train, and it made it very easy and fun. So that one guy made the fact I've been working so much lately evaporate from "grrrr" to "isn't everything wonderful" .
Not happy with the person I've got to train tonight though. I would have turned him away at the interview. He's really keen and eager, so it would have broke my heart, but his first language isn't english, and his communication skills aren't very good at all. This means that when he has to handle customer complaints or answer phones.....well you get the idea. Nevertheless, he has been sent through by the person who interviewed him for me to train. Yes, I explained precisely why he shouldn't have let the guy through when we went to Fast Eddy's together after work. Next time, hm?
Cherrie (sister-in-law) is coming back over from Brisbane this Thursday, this time with her three kids too, and this time for good. She's staying with her mother five days or so, then going down to Donnybrook and living there. Still, 2 hours drive away is better than the whole of Australia away. Hopefully David (brother) should be visiting sometime soonish too, but then he'll go back to Sydney cos of army. David's in communications, and also in training to be some sort of lower grade officer. I don't follow ranks, so I can't tell you more than that.
Anyway, I should be having a shower and getting dressed and all that, cos I got a meeting with Cliff at 3, and I only woke up at 11:45am (my mother called) since I didn't get to bed until 2am. Plus I need to go shopping, so my day is booked between shopping, meeting, training, then being the closing driver tonight. Closing driver stays after the store has closed and doesn't go home until everything is cleaned. Steven is pre-close, so that's good, and Saneil is closing manager, so I'll be in good company. :D Hopefully I won't be needing to train anybody on Wednesday, cos at the moment I'm not rostered on, so I'll be getting a day off tomorrow. Been ages since I had a home-cooked meal.
Now, I shall bid thee adieu, since I never meant to type a post this long and must be boring you all already heh.
