They've cranked up the intensity at work. Now we've moved onto our practical application training, and it seems like it's going to be a bit more intense than the others. They have us unmuted the entire time, to gauge our background noise, and it is stressing me out. My office isn't bad, but there's some more that I'd like to do to possibly make it better.
First, I want to put up a curtain rod over the door and put a sound deadening curtain. Second, I want to get a white noise machine and plug that in behind me, to cover a little bit of the noise. I'm sure they're not going to be as critical of the noise as I am, but I want this to work, so I'm going to do some soundproofing. In the meantime, it's making me a wee bit paranoid. I dislike the feeling that people are judging me.
Aside from that, the class doesn't seem horrible. A lot of review with a few new things thrown in. Mostly it seems like it's going to be the soft skills class. We had a Quality person come in yesterday to discuss what they look for in scoring calls. I have no clue what we're going to do today, but we'll see.
Tomorrow, I shall get my first full pay, which is exciting. It's probably not going to be quite as much as I made with 911, since the insurance is more expensive, but we'll see.
I was a bit worried about Dad yesterday. In the morning, he seemed a little bit weak and he's still coughing a fair amount, despite cough pills and inhaler. But after we got him up, he napped in the wheelchair and work up all perky, so we'll see. His primary care will be here between 12:30 and 1:30, so we'll see what he has to say. I want to ask about an antibiotic, since the hospital didn't send him home with one, and maybe about getting a nebulier to help with the cough. Maybe get more cough pills if possible.
It's been a little rough this week, and I'm feeling a bit stuck. I'm afraid that we won't get to go away in 2 weeks, even for an overnight. As Jess said, I'm 100% expecting the rug to get pulled out somehow.
My sister is now up, and is immediately very chatty. I have a little bit of a headache, and am considering going back downstairs to lay down for a few minutes. I get up at 5 because I have 45 minutes of quiet, but today that wasn't long enough.
We had our first CONfab meeting last night, and it really helped me get more of a feel for what we'll need to do over the next 7 months, and what more needs to be planned out. I need to go through the calendar and figure out what days need to be what. In the past, we advertised way more than we needed to, and I feel like that alienated some people, so we're going to try to come up with a schedule that keeps us in people's minds without pissing them off, and also without burning out the staff, which is basically![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
poisontaster and me. So, there's at least one more meeting in my near future, just to come up with the schedule for the next couple of months.
And on that note, I'm going to sign off, and go put on some pants. Everyone have a stupendous Tuesday
