Training today was...a bit of a bore..I honestly don't know what would have become of me had Sean not been there to keep me partly sane with little jokes and little looks here and there that only he and I are able to understand. It started off a bit interesting with a rep from a company who had an upbeat personality, and his accent was happy and made me laugh but not in an obnoxious way, he took advantage of the way he spoke and used it to work the crowd. After that, we went through modules of how to set and achieve our goals and a whole bunch of shim sham about recognizing our own strengths and weaknesses. What would you say are your own personal strengths and weaknesses? I mean, this isn't an interview, and it isn't as if you have to think about what sounds right to who you would be admitting this to. In your own opinion, of your own personal self. What is your biggest weakness? Mine? I would have to say that I don't say the word NO enough. I am smart enough to know when I am in or about to be in a situation where I could and or WILL get taken advantage of, (for my kindness anyways) or when I will probably more than likely, be put in a position that I don't want to be in wasting my precious time and doing something I do NOT want to do. Be this as it may, in the workplace, or in my personal life, with friends, with family, I always want to be the "good guy" the "great girlfriend" the "sweet niece". NO. I swear, I am always the "good employee"who comes in for her shift even when I am throwing my guts up, just so I can cover a shift, so my co-worker wont feel overwhelmed.. while other employees would take sick days to sleep in! I cant be the only one. I'm working on it though, I have said "no" on more than one occasion to friends asking to go out to see a movie, go out to eat, random favors that put me out of my way. It's a slow process, and without being a complete bitch about it, I have and still am just learning how to get my priorities straight, and knowing when it is smart not only logically, socially, but also financially to go out on a whim and do things that may only end up benefiting others instead of myself. I'm uh..I'm just saying...
Anyways, the training day ended, and Sean and I were so hungry our stomachs were starting to eat it selves. Our group had been promised pizza, and.........we got nothing...the prophecy was not..fulfilled. So.Upset. My stomach was hurting, we had been sitting on our asses, yawning and listening to European, Asian, South American and Canadian tours schpeel for 3 hours, and when our time had finally run up, the training class next door had gotten pizza, not us.........Yeah. Really. Sean and I were fed up, and decided we would have to go get something quick to eat, and head home because we were exhausted, and not to mention..so desperately disappointed. We ended up sitting in the newly renovated food court at the Eaton's Centre (so gorge!, LOVE it!) for about an hour chatting and eating this really good but bad Indian food from the Amaya Express which I had never tried. Sean got the butter chicken poutine, and I, somehow, someway got talked into getting the Slum dog chili dog...LOL..what? It basically is a hot dog with chili, and cheese, served with fries. It is the most NON-INDIAN thing on the menu. How did this happen?? Anyways, after getting through half of it, because I had been so hungry, my stomach felt terrible because I had waited so long, so I didn't feel fulfilled either...such as the prophecy of the pizza...oh well. I'm home now, and just finished a glass of coke with ice which was oh so good. Should hit the hay now, since I need to be back at it in the morning. Night babes xo
