Is there someone in your place of employment who is sour and difficult all the time? The Tallest Woman in the World is kinda that person. She comes in, looks like she's ready to kill someone, and then shuts herself in her office. Occasionally, she'll come out and walk around while muttering various obscenties under her breath. She also has a knack of yelling at the receptionist for no good reason. It's really quite unpleasant.
Ever since my childhood, I've always been frightened of yelling or just generally unpleasant people. I think it traces back to when I was 5 or so and my mom used to yell a lot. I'd be terrified when she yelled because I knew, if she's yelling, it's a matter of time before I get a harsh spanking. Now, I know this woman is not gonna come at me with a spatula, but i'm just naturally worried when she's unpleasant.
I told my parents of this problem I'm having and they told me to grow up. Well, thanx a lot. Rule me with fear when I was little and now you tell me to stop being scared.
This is my 8th day of "training" at this office, and my rate of learning has slowed down steadily since the third day. They lack a good training structure so a lot of the times I'm just sitting here wondering if I'm on the right track. I still want this job, mind you, but if i'm going to be wasting time and not learning, I'd rather be earning $$ while doing so. Like everyone else.
I think I'll speak to my boss about hiring me on Friday. Keep your fingers crossed.
time for: more "learning/training".
