I am NOT a trucker....
...really more of a cube-rat. My first week went better than I was expecting. By better I mean it is not a horrible place to work. I amazed everyone with the relative short time it took for the company to give me a security card and computer login, a process that usually takes weeks for others. Most of the week consisted of me rolling from cubicle to cubicle talking to people. I had some half-assed training along with that. Friday was a combination of the training I got on both Monday and Tuesday resulting in me falling asleep during the group training session. One of the guys that I report to took it upon himself to throw a ball of paper at me to wake me up. I was very confused when I came to because I could not figure out how did it. I dosed off a few more times after that.
My run down for the my first week:
Monday:Sitting around and intro to equip through pictures
Tuesday:Programming training and a trip to the Indiantown Gap
Wednesday:Camp Hill Prison where I got served lunch by a prisoner and then sitting around in my cube
Thursday:Sitting around and then some training
Friday:Repeat of Monday and Tuesday.
Things I have heard/learned:
1) "Water is really bendy."
2) "When you talk about a guy being anatomically correct, you are usually not refering to his arm."
3) Dom Perignon and 24 wings comes to be about $210
4) I found a sports bar where I can order Cristal
5) The radio in one of the van is broken
This job seems like chaos and boredom come in waves. I also found out that I will be going to Pittsburgh in a week or 2.

YAY for a job that doesn't completely suck! It does not surprise me, somehow, that you never broke yourself of the habit of falling asleep in class.
you trucker.

the trainer on Friday was the same guy that taught me on Monday and Tuesday. He is terrible uninteresting and told many non-funny jokes. i learn that stuff better through doing not looking.
