beansideAnd we're creeping ever closer to the weekend and mini vacation! I got an email from Windsor Suites yesterday, offering me the chance to purchase all sorts fo extras. I skipped the larger room or balcolny or any of that, but did spring for early check in. That was my main issue with us getting there early--either we were carting a bag, or we were going to be leaving the bags with the front desk. But with early check in, we can leave about 9:45am, get there around 12:00, and check in at 12:15. Then we can have an hour and some change to get settled before we go to Reading Terminal Market for late lunch.
I'm looking forward to being away for a little while, and having some good food and especially seeing some good friends.
It's funny, I've been to Philly fairly regularly, yet have never gone to Reading Terminal Market, which is definitely on all the top ten lists of places to go. I'm looking forward to checking it out and getting some tasty noms.
I continue to shadow the other trainee at work. She's really sweet, but watching her is frustrating as hell. First off, it's a bit boring. I'm struggling to focus for the entire day. Second, she doesn't really listen to the patient. Yesterday, there was at least three concepts/pieces of info that were offered that she didn't listen to or pick up on. All three led to frustrated customers.
The trainer was very attentive the first day, and has withdrawn a bit each day since. I feel like she is also having trouble paying attention, and when help is needed, she's slow to respond, and usually needs a recap (which is frequently given incorrect info due to the prior issue.)
I know I have a ton to learn yet, but I really just want to get started, but I have no clue when that is going to happen. I should probably ask that this morning.
All in all, it's not bad, I'm just frustrated and struggling to keep focus sometimes. And the frustrated is mostly that I'm impatient and a bit type A. I keep feeling like "I could do this better." Which is probably not true at this point in my training.
Yesterday, I was very productive. Today, I will not be. I plan to be a lump. Maybe I'll do some packing, but we'll see.
Okay, time for me to go forth and get my ass in gear. Everyone have a terrific Thursday!

Date: 2024-03-21 11:45 am (UTC)Reading Terminal Market is great but it gets packed at lunch, so be prepared for lots of people and lines. The Gyro place was fantastic, and there's a bakery that sells the most amazing cookies.
