The Pit

So I've been out of training for about for about two weeks now. And I have to say, this will probably be the first close-to-positive thing I write about this place.

I actually had some slight training not too long ago to finish up, and the girl I trained with mused about how she missed the conference room we spent six and half weeks in. ...She then asked if I missed it too. That was a big, fat "nope".

I'm on the phones, which I thought I'd hate. But with a lead bank, it's not so bad... I had eight prospects scheduled last week. Five showed... And thankfully, because with just those five I was worn the F out.

My boss has kept in step with his micro-managing ways by setting outlandish expectations, along with weekly reports to rub salt in the wound. But now that I'm out of the "boiler room" and in "the pit", his hovering is not quite so frequent. And he might just have won a few points by loaning me Step Brothers and nailing a nerf-ball basketball hoop to the rep room door.
