Training at Opinion Search

Today I had 5 hours of training for Opinion Search! From 4pm toll 9pm... but for some reason, after school ended (3:05pm) I thought my training started at 5pm... so I kinda took my time getting home and getting ready. Then I checked the sheet, and it said 4-9pm!!! I was like shit!!!! By that time it was already 3:45pm... the bus left at 3:42pm plus the next one was in another 20minutes! So I was obviously going to be late!

The bus finally comes at 4:02pm then there was a half hour bus ride there... I finally arrives at 4:30. Some women that works there lead the way to the training room... I walk into, and I see a HUGE oval table with about 20 teenagers sitting around it, and some guy standing in the front talking. I really didn't think there were going to be so many people! I apologized for being late, but he said that they were actually just about to start, they were just filling out paper work. He told me what to do with my paper work, and I did it all in about 10minutes.

For the next 4 hours... we all just sat there and listening to the guy talk, then a women came in, and pretty much just repeated what the guy said, and then another guy came in and talked some more!! It was so0o0o0o boring!!! They talked about EVERYTHING, like how we're supposed to communicate over the phone, our tone, how to reply to offensive people, or people who lose track of the survey. Then also stuff like how everything is confidential, and that we're not allowed to talk about ANY of the answers we get, or what kind of questions we were asking. The guy even said that we cant mention it in a blog or facebook. He said they sometimes type in "opinion search" and the company name they're doing the survey for in google, and find whoever is talking about it! LMAO!!!

Finally, at 8:30pm we get to use the computers and learn how to connect to a caller and how to survey, enter our data, and how to turn off the survey stuff. It was all pretty simple, but we needed to remember a few pointers here and there.

I also met this guy named brian... When i saw him, I felt like I knew him from somewhere, so I went up to him during our 15minute break and asked his name, hoping it would ring a bell, but it didn't... He also said that he thought he knew me from somewhere lol... He said he lives in a certain part of ottawa, and I know a couple of people from there, so I named 'em but he didn't know them lol :P We just chilled for the rest of the day (our computers were beside each other). He was pretty cool. But he's going to be working the day shifts which sucks cuz I'll be working the evening shifts, so probably the only time I'll even see him is maybe on the weekends at work.

My cuzin sarah also works there, we're both starting our first week together. In the end of the lectures, they asked us to circle the shifts we'd like to take for the following week (Saturday - Friday) The only thing I knew at the time was that I had work at harvy's for saturday and sunday, but I didn't know the rest of the week's schedual. I had to work at least 16 hours each week, so I put monday to thursday, 4:30pm - 7:30pm... and on sunday from 5pm - 9pm. I really hope my 2 jobs dont overlap lol, but I'm pretty sure they will.

I'm really thinking of quitting harvy's. I get paid like $75 tomorrow... and plus I really dont like working in fast food places, I only accepted to work cuz I couldnt find anything else. Hmm.... I'm going to try to see how "Opinion Search" is... before I just quit harvy's.

Ahh! and when I got home, at about 10pm, I had to write up a whole chemistry lab report which is due at midnight tonight! I had to hand it in through e-mail to my teacher. I wrote it up really fast in about an hour lol... I think its a pretty crappy lab report, but whatever :P And the thing is... I didnt find out I had to hand it in until TODAY! You see... he usually just picks 10 random people's names from a bowl, which means they have to hand it in (this is 1 week prior to the due date) and then on the day the lab is due, he picks 3 more random names who have to hand it in that day! So he picked my name, and so I had to get started real fast! LOL.

Well tomorrow is friday.... and I planned this little stupid reunion lmao!!! On facebook I created an event called "Leslie Park ReUnion" It was supposed to bring everyone from my class over all the 8 years in leslie park together. Currently, there's 3 people attending (including me) and about 7 people saying maybe, 2 people saying no, and 8 people who haven't replied lol. Since I got nothing better to do, I'm going to SRB after skewl tomorrow to meet up with jenarth. Sinc jenarth lives literally 15seconds walking from leslie park, we're gonna see if anyone shows up :P I wouldnt be surprised if nobody did lol.

Thats all folks!
