woohoo first week is over!

Well I survived my first week at work. I am loving it. Though Im sure I am going to do well, because my instructor constantly tells me so, I am sure I am really gonna enjoy this job. I have met alot of new people. Brittney and I take our break together every night. She is me in a different skin color. The girl is a trip and a half. We purposely sit on opposite sides of the room. Other wise we wouldnt get shit done. We sit and crack up at each other and at the same time can have serious conversations, usually LaDonna is with us when those come about. There are a few women that are around 40 that have decided I am the voice or our little group. So when one of us needs something some one says "Hey Amanda get Star, or Get Rusty." Im just not scared to ask and dont care how stupid the questions sound because I know if I need the answer that means I need it even if I wont use it anytime soon. I am enjoying learning the new stuff. The software is a breeze. I am loving it. Now I just hope I can remember it all. I even did my first reading for a practice reservation with the class tonight. The only thing I forgot was to say "with marriotts look no further best value" ok so out of a good minute long reading I missed one small phrase. I think I did damn good. I gave my Courtyard Brand presentation. Im not much of an artist. But the poster was loud colored. I got up with Janece and she didnt want to talk so naturally I did. Rusty was laughing the whole time. I started the presentations by introducing us. Well I looked and said "Hi this is my lovely assistant Vanna and I will be the Host Pat." Every one just died laughing. But I gave a very informative presentation and only referred to my visual aide one time. Every other group fumbled threw theirs and you could barely hear them. Mine was entertaining. Which earned me and Janece an very good grade. Yes we are graded during our training. Essentially the first five weeks is training. So we are in "school" while we are at work. But I am just having a blast with it. I am constantly helping some one else. But Rusty says that is a great thing. Because that means I am comfortable with every thing going on, Im not lost and Im not overwhelmed. And trust me they are throwing a bunch of stuff at us!! Anyways just thought I would fill yall in some more on the ever crazy life of Mandie! Laters!
