  • ...Continuing Education...

    I have decided that I don't mind customer service.  As such, I may apply for big banking companies to fill their customer service departments.  YES, dealing with complainey people about visa bills and whatnot.  I'll see.  At least it pays better than retail.  You're all probably thinking, "she must be crazy!", but the truth is, I like this kind of stuff.  Though maybe the reason I've loved retail is because I've been working with shoes, and I love trying to sell good shoes to people.  who knows.   I deal with complainy, rude, and sometimes very stupid customers while still feeling great at the end of the day.  I'm just thinking, WOULDN'T a company want me for those qualities?  mmmmm.  I'm having a mid-twenty-life crisis I guess.  Though, I firmly know who I am, I'm just completely lost in my prospective future.  I firmly believe that I can do anything I set my mind to.  And perhaps because I was raised like this, I have a hard time deciding on WHAT I want to do.

    The current place of employment had the the best interview experience for me.  

    I applied on Monday (even though it was a long weekend), got a phone call on Tuesday for an Interview for Thursday, and was hired on Friday.  hahahaha.  2 Weeks later, I'm in.  "I can't let you ring things under your own number because it's not fair to the other associates."  BUT, no one has been helping me, so isn't it unfair to me to ring MY SALES under other people?  seriously....HELL NO!  

    I'm planning on taking a few courses.  I might take a wedding planning one.  I'm debating whether I want to do it in person or just over the internet.  Although the internet is convenient, doing the course in person means I meet people and create contacts.  I think it's important to make contacts wherever possible.  Yes, internet is convenient, but it also secludes me into my isolated world.  So, I'm thinking I might just take it in person even though there's LOTS of commuting costs included.  I'll talk to my mother and bf to see what they think.   Although my mind is pretty set, I think it's important.  Plus, If I decided to go into the business of wedding planning and event planning, it's important to build a network anyways...so why not?  people WANT to celebrate happy occassions....THOUGH, I don't know how many people realize they need an event planner.  but of course this depends....

    I'm also debating on taking a course for desktop publishing.  It's so I can take a future course in photoshop and all those other wonderful adobe applications.  I'm just thinking of when the bf ACTUALLY decides to take his photography into fulltime employment  at least I can help him out somewhere (since I don't really have an eye for capturing and image- I just like looking at them)...

    I was also thinking about Early Childhood education, but I hated it when my mother was doing it.  So who knows.  Spent 4 hours looking at education stuff from colleges.  Um....sheridan college has THE WORST website.  NOTHING loads properly.  I keep saying that so and so link is no longer available...seriously?  what does sheridan college pay it's web tech staff to do?  

    mmmmm.....
