Training Trials and Triumphs

I will go down with this ship, and I won't put my hands up and surrender --dido

You’re in the next group.

Oh… ok.

I shrugged, but even then I couldn’t ward off my curiosity as to why. What made them think that I was fine with just being pushed off? I sought my manager out again to ask him why.

I just want to know why I was in the next one.

Well we had to break it down into groups so that not everyone is away from work at the same time.

Who is in this first one?

He listed about three before I cut him off.

I know she is a great trainer and all, but I’ve been waiting longer than she.
It irritated me to have to give an account of my time spent waiting to be certified at work.

Really? I’ll have to see…

Things like this that really make me want to quit. I don’t have time for this make-believe. Next thing you know, though, I’ve got a letter of congratulations waiting for me at the front door when I enter work next. It informs me that I am being certified as an official server trainer on Monday, and it asks that I arrive at the selected place at the listed time… in other words, I caught them at their game, and they couldn’t get out of it this round.

Although, I admit that I hate playing this. I’m tired; not only physically, but mentally.

I don’t normally like to complain about things like this…. Or perhaps I’m trying not to on this thing as much as normal, but this is something I can’t really ignore well enough.
