I was approached by a supervisor and she asked me if I wanted to be collections trained. I immediately said no, telling her that I don't like people yelling at me. She said that was o.k and approached some of my other co-workers. Alicia and Ashley said that they would do it and enrolled in the training class (4-12am). The hours for the training class weren't all that great for me either. I was talking with Alicia and she said that I should join the training class and offered to give me a drive for the training period. So...I was thinking about it and was later approched by the human resouces manager inquire to why I was so hesitant to join a collections skillset. She told me that it is mostly payment arrangements (which I know how to do) and getting people reconnected after being disconnected for arrears. She told me if I would give it a chance and hated it after 3mths, she would remove me from that skillset. We shook on it. So, at least I will be learning something new and know that I won't be stuck indefinately if I don't like it. I was unable to book today off, so Sam and I dropped Gizmo off at the groomers shortly after 10am and went to Second Cup before catching my bus. We both got a caramel coretto, nice but I probably only needed a small instead of the mediums I bought us. We then went to Mcdonalds and got some sausage mcmuffins. I caught the bus shortly after that. I really should start eating something in the mornings. I feel alot better when I do. But i am pretty friggin lazy when it comes to making something for myself to eat. I signed the home early book today, and actually got an email asking if I wanted to go early. I was able to leave at 8:45pm(an hour early) and just use "floater" time to cover it. I got home shortly after 9pm and Sam had left overs for me, which I love to have when I get home from work (it was a chicken pasta dish-very nice). I've been able to read my book for awhile and I'll get to wat Without a Trace. Gizmo is SO little after her jair cut. The groomer trimmed her down to almost nothing!! Even her ears are little, I usually ask that they be left kinda floppy, but I forgot and now realize how little her ears actually are. She is such a little dog! She's awesome!

Problem solving isn't that bad - I did it for a long time. People are not mad at you - they're mad at the company. Remember that and you'll be fine.

Oh, how I wish Saint John had real coffee shops. Or even just a Second Cup or Starbucks uptown. I *love* those caramel things from Second Cup. :)
