Ok, it's been about 2.5 weeks working at my new job. It's less intimidating than I first imagined. I've been told a few times from the other employees that I'm one of the first managers in a long time to be hired from outside the company.. whatever. I'm still kind of shocked/in disbelief that I hold this position. It's crazy! My first real job. Sometimes I wonder if J regrets hiring me just because I'm new to the whole rent-a-car business and am basically learning everything from scratch. Most of it is common sense and is easy but then I have to deal with customers and it's terrible. Some people are crazy and psycho! I told another manager that I would rather do payroll and computer work rather than deal directly with customers any day of the week. She told me she actually likes working with the people. Ick. Apparently summer is season of the crazies.
My life is starting to revolve around work. It totally sucks that I spend an average of 10 hours every day at work. And it's not a normal company where I can take an hour lunch/dinner break. We basically eat on the go and work non stop. It's so draining and kind of sucks how I have to stay late if I'm needed. Ugh. I specifically asked the recruiting manager how many hours a week I'd average and she said it'd be close to 40, probably 45 during the busy season. Such a lie!
Starting Sunday I'll be on my own. My "mentor's" last day is Thursday. :( I'm nervous because I like having another manager there with me and because I still don't know everything yet. AND because I don't want to deal with angry & mean customers! Thankfully, most of my experiences so far have been with tolerant people.
I miss my bf. It's only been a day. -17 to go.
