Shiney New Job

Yes, it’s true. I now have a new job. I moved to Arizona for one job, but that one has been giving me the run around and has on several occasions, postponed my start date. So I looked around and found something that I would enjoy more anyways. It’s mobile pc repair and website design! Yes, that’s right. The same thing I have always done for myself, I am now going to be getting paid well for.

Of course with a new job comes new hurdles. Currently (and by that, I mean 15 mins ago, and in another 15 mins), I will be doing homework for the new job. There is a TON of procedures to learn. Tomorrow I am going to be tested on how well I got them. It would probably be easier to learn if they just wrote everything in a couple words or short descriptions, but it is all written in legal-speak to make sure there is no contractual confusion. Ironically creating more confusion.

I am not sure what the test will consist of, but I do hope I don’t have to recite the procedures since there are like 8 thousand forms that need to be filled out, and all in a certain way. To me, I am a hands on learner. I sit in front of a computer and I just understand it, can figure it out, or can figure out how to figure it out ;), but memorizing legal-speak procedures without having actually done them, will be kind of a pain.

Oh well, figuring it out is worth my time.

In related news, I changed my phone number as an Arizona phone number was a requirement. New number is: 602-820-3828 so write it down, or type it into your cells. I was going to keep my old number AND get the new one, but apparantly with Cingular (and any other sim card based cell phone company), having more than one number on the same phone requires swapping out the sim card every single time you want the other number which is insanely annoying. Then I was going to get a second phone, they had a really nice new samsung, but I just don’t think I want to have 2 cell phones. If I did have to, I think I would want them to at least be different cell carriers, but I was in a hurry today so I decided that it was just easier to change it and bump up my plan.

Well it’s back to do more studying… ugh. Of course, after I am done studying for this and get through this, then besides being swamped with new work and trying to get the new design for this site up, I will also have to be studying for the A+ exam that I am required to pass within 90 days. Though I think that will be easier than trying to memorize procedures I have never done.
