After getting my car all put back together, I bid my farewells in Navasota and went up to College Station. Before I left, Becca was kind enough to buy me some gas, and we talked for a few minutes about the things that had happened to me in the last few days. It's being able to talk to her about difficult things that reminds me what a great friend ( Read more... )

OK, that was easy...I pulled the MAF sensor (which measures incoming air) and cleaned some gunk off the wires. Now the car works much better. Huzzah!

I just replaced the sparkplugs in my car, to the tune of 30 dollars in parts (OEM sparkplugs are pricey!). The "Check Engine" light is still on, but this rules out one problem. It's probably my O2 sensor, but I cannot afford that item just yet. Next paycheck, I suppose. I may just put it in the shop for a tune-up and such, once I get paid. ( Read more... )

Litha/Midsummer was a very nice ritual, and well organized for this group. There were a lot of people attending from numerous groups, and the ritual did exactly what it was supposed to; it reminded us of the heat of the day, and exactly why the sun needs to wane to keep the earth from burning. Leaning Vulture and Lights the Sky were the priest ( Read more... )

Yesterday's class was uneventful, as we were doing more review for me. We learned a new tool that took about 30 seconds to understand, so that was my highlight of the day. Most of the evening was based around building courtesy and concern for the customer. The air conditioning stopped working a little bit into the day, which made class very slow ( Read more... )

Well, today was pretty much the same story. When I went to pick up my co-worker and take him to his class, it turned out he was still trying to get enough money together to get his girlfriend's car back from the towing company. So I drove home and pretty promptly crashed out on the couch. I was almost late to work, but managed to squeak in on ( Read more... )

OK, well today wasn't as boring as I thought it'd be. When I got to work and found my way to the parking for the new call center, I heard loud noises when other agents went in the door. "Oh lord" I thought to myself, and braced for the wave of enthusiasm...I opened the door, and was nearly flattened by the screams of cheering employees. I was ( Read more... )

Yesterday evening was another day of policies, and they went over our benefits packages. Our benefits package is very good, and I think I may actually elect to take it. They also went over some things about call center statistics and such, that we as agents should pay attention to. After all this stuff, our trainer finally got the floor, and we ( Read more... )

My first day of work at T-Mobile was a paperwork day. Very boring, paperwork is. Then we were introduced to sexual harassment and company policies...also boring. I asked my trainer how the training would be different from what I've done before, and he asked about my experience. After I told him I had 6-7 months of general technical care, he ( Read more... )
