First week in School, HBO, and Target
And you all wondering…..
what has HBO and Target to do with her going to school!
Well let me tell you, I am sooo excited!!!!!
Yesterday in class, a couple people came in and they were from HBO and they explained to us upselling to their services.And they left us with some “find the word” puzzles.
I finished it, and turned it in.
Today in class at the beginning we met our Manager and after she introduced herself she said “Who knows what PAW means?” I blurted it out and won a $ 5,00 dollar giftcard to Target.
Than a half hour later it was announced that I won a tote from HBO from the puzzle yesterday. I never win nothing and I was so excited…hahaha
Today it wasn’t boring at all, we did lot’s of work on the computer. And lot’s of simulations too!
Tomorrow after half of the shift we will be sitting on the floor with our “Mentors” and will listen to their phonecalls.
And on Friday we will get a “Mock” call into the classroom. Each student will have to answer one call where a mentor plays a customer.This is what I am sooo scared of.
But I know with lots of praying, God will lift me up and guide me through it. I pray constantly, because I know without Him I wouldn’t be where I am at right now, and without Him I wouldn’t be able to understand and learn all this stuff! I praise Him when I get up in the morning and while I am in the shower, when I get ready to drive to work and when I drive home.
And He always comes through for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!!!
There is so much power when you call onto the name of the Lord, and I can testify to that it is absolutely true!
Thank you all for the lovely comments you all left me, and even though I don’t reply often as I should, I want you to know I read them daily! And I love each and every one. And YES Jennifer you are so right about saying to me “Think about Even the boring stuff and the orbit stuff is better than dealing with grouchy, back-stabbing coworkers” and working for Wally World. You are so right girlfriend!!! And Jessica, thank you so much for reading my blog and giving me encouragement! And you saying “This will be true of you too….just wait a year!! See what He will do!”
And Brigitte, my german friend………I just love you! You are so sweet and always leave me nice and uplifting comments and emails! You all are so wonderful people, thank you from the bottom of my heart
I have to talk about my Mom too, she is VERY ill! She suppose to go back to the hospital on March 26, 2008, but she had to be hospitalized yesterday the 25th, because she wasn’t able to breathe through the opening the doctors made in her throat. Again the “”wild flesh” from the surgery grows so quickly and covered the opening and the little plastic thing they put in for her to breathe couldn’t go in any more because the opening was closed off. They had to send a rescue team and take her to the hospital.You know my Mom never had anything really nice in her Life, she always worked hard and my Dad wasn’t a good husband. He cheated on her left and right! But he also was her “big love” so it took 17 years for her to finally file for a divorce.
Anyways, my Mom had in her young age already leukemia, and when she was 35 she had cancer in her stomach and they had to take a LOT of her stomach out. She almost died after the surgery. She had a few years ago a heart attacke and now she is been battling cancer in her throat for a long time now. She had so many surgeries in this passed year. I always prayed that God would heal her and let her be able to come to the States to let me see her one more time.
But as of this morning my prayer has changed. I don’t want her to keep going through this misery!!! I prayed if it is His will, I am ok with it if He wants to take her home! As long as He knows that she will be going to Heaven, I am ok!My fear is however that she isn’t saved, even though she proclaimed to me she is.
But of course only HE knows!
So please continue to pray for my Mom!
Love you all
Andrea

Dear Andrea,
I don´t want make a lot of words: I will pray for you and your mother. And I think, that your comment is right: only HE knows! Be strong - and there no doubt that you ARE strong - with HIS help and with our exchange of ideas.
Byebye, Brigitte

I’m so glad your “school” is going well. I hope this job turns out to be much better than anticipated and even more better than Wal-Mart.
