Out before I'm even in??!!!!

Hello my beloved friends around the world!!! Wie Ghet es ihnen? Здравствуйте, Доброе утро, Добрый день, Добрый вечер, 환영합니다?! As you know I got a new job after being unemployed this past year and I was so excited to jump back into the working class; that was until I got there?!

I wanted to show my new employer that jam not only dependable, but also diligent, so I went into work practically an hour early. When I came in I asked for the supervisor and one of the employees told me to look for a certain person, but for legal rights, lets just call him Lance. So I started walking towards the description of the person, but then another person said, "I'm lance!" Then another person yelled out "No, I'm lance!" So for the first minute of my official day in the office, I went on a wild goose chase trying to find out who the real Lance was?! I finally found him and he told me to wait in the office for him, so I obliged and then he and another supervisor had a meeting with me on what to expect and what is expected of me. Truth be told, I was very impressed with their office ethics and strategy and told them I would try my best to make them proud of hiring me. I was then introduced to my in the job trainer ( let's call him Randy; only because I think that is the funniest of all names and it makes me laugh when I say it.....no offense to Randy's in the world, but I always exaggerate the way I say it like this," RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNDee)! Anyway, that's another blog story I guess, so back to this story.

Randy took me on a quick tour around the office and what I was going to need once we got out in the street. Once we were about to leave, an old retired employee walked through the door and so Randy stopped to catch up with him for a minute. As I waited for him to finish chatting, another older employee who was standing near the exit door called me over and told me in a low, sincere voice, " you should just quit this job right now, because you are a woman and this job isn't for women." I chuckled, because I really didn't know how to take the news I just heard and politely just told him, " we'll see?" He insisted thought that I quit, because I would be doing a lot of walking in the sun and the days are getting older and then it's going to rain and blah blahblahblahblahblaaaah. And I just repeated, " ok, we will see" he waved off my come back and walked out the door. I just laughed to myself, because in what country or century does this guy think we live in that a woman can't work just as hard as men can? Truth be told, he wasn't kidding about the weather; it was hot! The bad thing was that I was driving around in a sardine can ( not really, just metaphorically speaking) and the vehicle had no air conditioning. I used rough it though and I think I did fairly well for my first day out, so take that old man!

The job isn't hard, but there is just waaaaaaAyyyyyy tooooo much information for one person to learn in one day; hopefully I can absorb it more tomorrow....until next time!
