Are You Kidding Me??

Rain, rain, GO AWAY! And bring the snow back, please - it was much more peaceful than this never-ending downpour we seem to get every winter! And every time we have bad weather, the bad drivers seem to crawl out of the woodwork and onto our roads. It's actually quite ridiculous, the amount of time it takes to get anywhere on a normal day vs. a terrible weather day. Time spent in traffic actually increases by an average of 30 minutes. 30!! That's an episode of Big Bang Theory!!

So, I mentioned before that at my job, I'm the scheduler. Well, lately I've been training to do payroll as well. It's a simple process, and the system is the same, just a different application. So today, I have my second training session, only with a different trainer. She's...well...she's not exactly fast with today's technology. And she's a bit condescending, which, if I hadn't adopted my blissful state of apathy at work, would probably drive me insane. So this morning, instead of letting me sit in front of the computer and learn as I go, she proceeded to take over and have me write notes. Like a child. In school. Lady, the only way I am EVER going to learn anything is by doing it. I've been that way my entire life. "Don't know how to do it, April" "No, but give me ten minutes, and I will figure it out." Done. So then, after she's done all the stuff herself, she asks me to do what she just did. Umm, can you say ENORMOUS WASTE OF TIME??? Cause I can! I just typed it! Grrr...

Tomorrow, I may actually get to "use the controls." Goody for me! *rolls eyes* at this rate, I might be ready for payroll in a month. Which is really too bad, since my first payroll shift actually happens next week....

Looking forward to singing this week :) Christmas carols make me happy, and SINGING them makes me even happier. Our outreach this year is sure to bring lots of smiles to lots of faces.

Ok, my Star Trek TNG is on, so I'm going to sign off now - three days of blogging in a row! Maybe this isn't so hard after all! Hopefully, I'll soon find something inspiring/interesting to write about. I need a project. Any ideas, anyone??
