It's payday! But not until around 4:30pm, sadly. But that's okay. We'll be able to get something out, so I don't have to blow my entire break at 4 getting food ready to go in the oven. I don't mind doing it, but it'll be nice to not need to scramble. It'll also be nice to have a little break between getting off work and game time. The food will be there, and I can just tear into it. Now the hard part--where do we want food from?
The next few days are going to be busy. We've got game tonight and Friday, and tomorrow, we're going out for dinner. I'm looking forward to all of the above. Game might be a little challenging, because I'm talking a lot during the day. So I'm going to have to use my hour and a half wisely to rest my voice. It'll be fine, just an adjustment.
I think for lunch on Saturday, my friend and I have decided on Michael's Steak and Lobster House on Eastern ave. I kind of want both a steak and crab imperial, and there I can get an enormous steak with crab imperial on top of it. I've had it before, and it was really good. It's this old fashioned place, with dark wood paneling on the walls and waitresses that call you "hon," but the food is really good. It's not cheap, but that's okay.
Yesterday, I took 42 calls. The goal that they want you to get up to when you're fully trained and settled in is 40, so I was very pleased with myself. I've only been on the phone full time for about a week and a half. I'm pretty proud of the accomplishment.
I wish they had been able to move my class sooner, but that is apparently not happening. So, I'm going to spend at least the next week and a half doing this. Not sure what we'll do after I've had the class. The normal process is for me to have another week supervised, but I'm not sure if that'll happen or if they'll cut me loose. I suspect it'll be in between. They'll give me another day or so of being supervised, just to make sure that my newly downloaded system works, and then I'll be on my own. I guess we'll see.
Since I have no EPIC app of my own, I'm taking calls on my phone line, but doing the work via controling my trainer's computer over zoom. This means that she can't touch her computer at all, and thus can't do any work while I'm working. Since I'm fairly self sufficient, she doesn't need to be watching me 100% of the time, so she's bored. She has a wireless microphone, so she's been wandering around her house, doing chores while I'm taking calls. Yesterday she disassembled her daughters' bunk beds and reassembled them in the living room so she can paint in her daughters' room. When she finished that, she played Elden Ring for a while. She's there if I need her, but she's having a productive week.
So far, I've been enjoying the job. Sometimes, I feel like I'm a little too perky, but I haven't had any total assholes yet, so it must be working? Mostly it's older people who aren't comfortable with doing it online, and I have a lot of experience with seniors.
Okay, time for me to sign off and take my morning pills and start the day. Everyone have a good Wednesday!
