Positive Attitude
Well today was a really good day. I think it's probably been one of the "best" most comfortable feeling days so far. The day started out as usual...I missed my alarm clock and work up at 6:51 instead of 6:00am. I ran around like a chicken with no head trying to shower, feed the dogs, pick out clothes etc. But surprisingly I made it to work with 3 minutes to spare before 8:00. (Yes it takes me about an hour to get to work from Heidi's place :-)
Anyway, all day I was in training...the class is called Guaranty Essentials...Basically I am learning how to become a bank teller (Financial Service Representative (FSR)-- That's what they are called now...The more P.C. way to say bank teller). So anyway, I'm going through this training because this is one of the courses that we will be re-writing in the training department. Also, I need to take the federal regulation tests, so that I am in complience if the bank were to ever be audited. There are three tests where the scores count. I have taken 2 of them with one to go on Friday. So far I passed both with a 100% on the privacy test and a 97% on the Truth in Savings test. Both of these you need a 90% or above to pass, and if you fail 3 times, you are terminated from work. Eventually, I will be writing the questions for these tests as well...(Comforting huh?)
Anyway, the training was really neat, and for those of you who have witnessed my interest in loans, 401K, IRA's money market accounts, you would understand why I am so excited to be in this training. I am trying to learn as much as I possibly can about the different accounts that we (Guaranty Bank) offers, and how they work so that I can apply that information to my personal life.
So...really nothing special happenend today. I just feel really motivated. And I spent my first work day night alone, and was really productive and busy. I am actually looking forward to living by myself, and accomplishing this new goal of mine to successfully live completely alone for 13 months. So...1 day down...394 days to go...I can do it! :-)
