It's been a long two days. I started orientation and job training yesterday. Got up at 5AM, sat in a room from 8AM until 5PM. It's a good thing that I really get along very well with the people in my training group.
I am one of 5 females. One is married and over 50, one is married and has two kids, one is just out of the Army, and the other looks like she's pregnant and just moved here from Puerto Rico. Two of the women have kind of bonded together, and don't talk to anyone else. The other two keep to themselves for the most part. I tend to find myself with the guys and men of the classroom. Today one of our instructors said to us "You guys seem to have started bonding together already." We were told we are a very open and lively group. I was one of the first people in class today, and picked my seat quickly. The guys that I "bonded" with yesterday came in slowly, and they all sat around me very quickly. I laughed to myself about that.
There a few guys around my age, but none younger. One guy has very much taken to me, and I must say, it's rather annoying. He's fat, over exaggerated, self-proclaimed dork, and decided to sit right next to me, (we keep our seats for the next two weeks....yeah), he's a bit smelly and has a very nasal voice, which gets really annoying. He pokes fun at me, and makes random comments like things that people who have known me for years would say, and he has not, by any means, earned the right to poke fun at me like that at all. I don't appreciate it, and it gets under my skin. On the other hand, there is one guy, Elliot, who I get along with really well. He's actually rather attractive. Haha. And, he's from Winchester. He went to Handley High, and just graduated from JMU. The other guy my age is Joe. He also just graduated from JMU, majored in Art. He's a pretty cool guy, but doesn't know how to not stare....he stares at me. But then again, so does the fat guy, and he sits right next to me. UGH. But either way, I love talking to the guys. It's so much more fun to talk to guys than to girls most of the time. So yeah. I get to talk about the stuff that really interests me, like cars and guns and sports. I'm learning things from them, and they don't look at me like "She's a girl, what does she care about this stuff?" Haha. It's nice.
As for the actual job part, the training class itself is really boring, and they are throwing so much information at us, my head is spinning. I can't talk about what I'm learning in class, so just know that it is the most boring stuff on the planet. Sitting in a room for 8 hours a day is not cool. I hate being cooped up. I wanted to just go dance in the rain today. That's what I wanted. But at least the guys keep me entertained.
