Second day in School
I don’t understand why everything has to drag out like it, but I am ok with it. I been through many first day’s at jobs, but this company really drags stuff out.
Whoever had to sit an hour through “direct deposit” explanations?
That lady explained it so in detail, it was funny to me. But I didn’t laugh or anything perhaps a little bit I did inside of me.
I mean I was told they have direct deposit on the first day. So yesterday I brought a voided check and filled on the paper my name and signature, and account number.
Why do they have to explain it for an hour 
It is funny!
But than our teacher came and we started.
This time I started to enjoy it, we actually talked about billing, and sales, and thats my thing. We started working on the computers, to figure out out to pull up stuff. How we can find answers to customer’s problems and questions. All interesting stuff to me.
We learning listening skills, which is interesting to me too.
Of course the day can’t go like that all the way, in the last two hours we AGAIN talked about the orbit. YUCK!!!!
She explained how those satellites are aligned in orbit and how the consumers little dishes receive signals. What kind of satellite in space sends dignals to people in India.
Tell you what though, I honestly don’t care how the signal comes down and from which degree and etc.
Should I ?????
I think the orbit and where the satellites sit is the only thing I really am a mess in.
We also learned what different remote controls are able to do. Like the difference between a…
IR = Infrared remote
UHF= Ultra High Frequency
The infrared remote can only be used to point directly to your system, like receivers, tv, stereo, etc.
The UHF however, you can point anywhere in the room and it will do its job. To say it simply. There are also dofferent kinds of UHF remotes. There are UHF remotes you can go to another room with it, and still change a channel or operate a stereo or whatever.
They can send their signal through walls and other objects.
We learned about different dish systems. I wont explain this here though.
But up to now, I like everything else. I hope we work more on the computer today. Also we will start taking “mock” calls soon. For me a “hands-on” person that is the stuff I like to do. I have to admit though my language skills are not good. I always thought I speak and understand real good english, but it does show I don’t. There are words I have absolutely no clue!
There is however a young man about 22 years old, he helps me. He explains to me words I don’t understand. And I had paperwork I didnt understand the word(s) on it, and he explains them to me. On the end of last night as we walked out, he said to me ” Andrea, your doing fine”
Wasn’t that sweet?
So please continue to pray for me, as I go through this adventure!
Love and Blessings to all of you
Andrea

Andrea -
I haven’t checked in on you in a while and I was sooo suprised to see this post! Congratulations!! Praise God! This sounds like a great oppertunity!
My little encouragement story: My sweet mother stayed home to raise 3 kids, to earn extra money she baby sat over 40 children over 30 years…She was an excellent homemaker…but 2 years ago, she needed to get a different job. So she started applying…for a while she worked at Barnes and Nobel, but the hours we so strange and sometimes she wouldn’t get home until very late…so she started praying for a new job, something that corresponded to my Dad’s hours. The Lord heard her and she got a job at a elementary school as an aide. She was SOOOO STRESSED out! She prayed and prayed that she wouldn’t have any troubled kids in her class, that she would know how to do whatever it was that they were learning, that she would make the teacher happy…ect…
This past weekend she was here for Easter and we talked about her job…in about a year and a half her attitude has changed. She said “I can even work with the 5th graders - fractions aren’t so hard”…and “I enjoy the troubled children, I can really make a difference with them…” God has heard her prayers and has helped her understand all the stuff she needs to know in order to do her job! She is giving Him the credit and He is receiving the glory!
This will be true of you too….just wait a year!! See what He will do!
I’m so happy for you!
Love you!
Jess

Remember, Andrea, it’s better than Wally-World!!! Even the boring stuff and the orbit stuff is better than dealing with grouchy, back-stabbing coworkers! It will get easier!
Love ya!

Hi,Andrea,
