I have finally gotten used to typing the year as 2015 instead of 2014, it only took almost 4 months.
Rebecca had the day off today, as did almost everybody in the state of Hawaii who does not work in the service or tourism industry. We started off the day by me waking up at 9 and unable to fall asleep. I went to the other room so I would not wake up Rebecca who came out to join me around 10:30. We had no food in the house so we drove to Starbucks for breakfast and then back to the yarn store so she could buy thimbles and ribbon. I stayed in the car rocking out to Japanese pop music.
We made our way to Costco where I got more of my sleeping medication and we stocked up on food for the house. We were in there for maybe an hour, but it felt like an eternity because of all the people. We finally made it home and I relaxed before work.
I was training again tonight, something I didn’t know until I got there. It was the same guy I trained on Tuesday. He was on his second to last day of training so I have him my key card for the computer and followed him around. I only jumped in to say something if he absolutely needed it, otherwise I didn’t have to talk to any customers… it was a pretty good shift.
The training system is going through an overhaul. They are now being held to a lesser standard as far as menu knowledge than when I started training. By the 4th day of training, if I had not memorized the entire menu I would have been sent home to study before coming back to repeat the training day. No one really knows what the standard is for the trainees because management hasn’t made it clear to us yet. I figure until they tell me what the standard is, I will just keep passing my trainees. He did a really good job, I would have passed hi either way, but somehow he managed to do 5 training shifts in the morning, and this was his first night time shift. The lunch crowd can get a little rowdy, but night time is a completely different animal.
I made it home just before midnight, and spent the next 2 1/2 hours playing super hero games.
