First day of training.

I went through 5 1/2 hours of web training today. It was a little bit long winded and it was a bit too much to absorb. But it was okay overall. I have about another 12 hours of training and then I'm on the floor. Kinda scary. But I know I can keep my head above water. Why are there so many women cashiers? No I'm not complaining :D

Missed the bus....

....the Contemporary Motor Sports 1-Day Spring Blowout sale bus that is. All because I was training from 8-5 the Saturday that the CMS sale was occuring. I'm so sad. Last year I got a great deal on my CAI from there and this year I wanted to go pick up a set of 18" inch Tenzo rims wrapped in Nexens and maybe splurge to get some Tein Coilovers. But sadly I totally missed the bus on this sale. Hopefully I can find a good deal on these in the upcoming months. I've waited a year and I missed it because of training! Blah!

Agent Orange reporting for duty!

So after a week of thinking about whether or not I would attend my training sessions at the Home Depot this weekend I finally decided that I would give it a try, thinking that I had nothing to lose. And after 16 hours of paid training, I'm really glad that I went. There are so many positives about working there that I don't care what all the haters say. Here's a few perks.

- 50% of my tuition will be reimbursed
- 3 days of paid sick leave
- Any donations I make, they will match it. So if I had worked at Home Depot last year, they would have matched my "shave your head for cancer" fundraising. Meaning I would have been able to donate $1000 to Cancer instead of $500.
- Super flexible. I told them I had exams in two weeks. They gave me minimal hours this week, and gave me the next week off....with no hassles.
- Profit sharing
- optional medical and dental insurance
- stock options available
- starting wage is great
- I can switch to any department after 3 months, and training is provided and paid for.

*all this was started on the first day of training. No 3 month wait.


So to all you haters out there....


HAH!

New look

I "borrowed" it, hehehe.

Now all I need is a nice title picture.
