Going away for the week

[Tink]

HI ladies!

I survived the week. LOL

I honestly had a much harder time of the training than I'd expected. Most of the others in the class had experience before coming, so I was at an immediate disadvantage. I'm just going to have to study the material to catch up.

I really missed being able to come in here and talk with you all!

I was able to talk with my manager about how things had gone and he agreed to let me postpone the 3rd week of training until I am able to practice and feel more comfortable with the stuff I'm learning these first 2 weeks. So that's a big weight off me. The 3rd week topic is above and beyond what my position is normally expected to do anyway, so I don't feel real bad about not going for it right away.

I did make a new friend there who I went out for dinner with and had some fun talks with. She's my age and was a really nice lady to hang out with, so that helped pass the time.

I go back this afternoon and should be coming home on Thursday night. The hotel is decent, there are a lot of different places to shop and eat, so I just need to learn as much as I can and try not to get frustrated with myself over my inexperience.

Everytime I got on here today I checked to see if you were back on yet...soon as I get off, then you show up. lolol...... Glad your first week went fine and that you've got a new friend to help the time pass. Also glad that you don't have to do the third week.....that's a lot of training. Hope this week goes fast for you too and that you are ready to start that new position. Sorry I missed you today....

Woooooooooooohooooooooooo I'm home, in my jammies and at my puter... ahhhhhh relaxation time.

Amazingly, this week was easier than last. I was in a deposits class with personal bankers, so figured it would be a bit more uptight than the teller group was... heck no! Those people were FUN!

I also got an upgraded hotel room this week for some reason, so had a 3 person jacuzzi, a microwave, refrig, my own little seating area, and so on IN my room. I enjoyed that!

I got to meet up with a lady I've known online for several years but had never met face to face. SHe lives near where I was training, so last night we got together for dinner and had a nice visit.

I find opening deposit accounts easier than the basic teller duties for some reason. So now I will have to try to convince all my customers to open savings, cds, money market accounts and so on... LOL

I missed you all. I have to work tomorrow at the bank, and maybe sat am too, but I will definitely be online this weekend to "get my fix".

Glad you're back Tink and glad you enjoyed this past week so much.

I think it's great that you were able to meet up with a friend and enjoy some time together. I really enjoyed the Yorkie Meet-up we had for Indiana back in May. It was so nice to see and talk in person with people I've chatted with through YT.

Now I guess we all know who to come to for those important banking questions....
