Training, Father Dougal and me

So, the dress code seems pretty casual and the training was tiring.
When I am in situations where I am on my very best behaviour for long periods of time I have a tendency to get the giggles.  I didn't, however 2 of my new co-workers  nearly did, 1 after a role play where I was a disgruntled customer called Tom, Tom Jones, I have to say I got a little enthusiastic.
The other co-worker got the giggles because of my face during 'difficult and challenging' bits because....

I looked like this...........
a lot


and, yes, yes I understand exactly what's going on.......
'Why are you on the wrong page?'
Question 'Give me an example of an obstruction in the street?'
Me 'a drunk man'
cue withering look
and in training, trying to be all smart and stuff
 it's all I had

(I looked like this as well)


and on it went, I must say I was completely cacking it,
I will just have to see how I do, I don't think I will break things, cause an international incident or ruin the reputation of a well-established company *fingers crossed* but I will endeavor to dress nicely and press buttons and stuff
  
First day training, finished at 10pm hence bizarre face
  

2nd day training, finished at 10pm - I have now hit the bottle


back 2 days later, finished at 9pm
am doing the hokey cokey
Cookie is offended


the least happy/impressed kitten

Really!
she is such a princess

I am back on Sunday, where I will be flying solo
answering calls from actual people with actual questions
not wearing casual clothes

see you all soon
you are all quite awesome and wonderful and
it's an absolute delight to have your company

P.S. credit to Mr Foxy for showing me how to copy and paste Father Dougal
he was so patient, bless him, he has cleaned up and has done a better job than me
and I demand photo's and technology things
he's a hottie indeed

  1. Mr Foxy, we salute you!
    And Ms McGinty, we also salute you - such long hours of arduous training, trying not to laugh, doing hideous role play, dressing beautifully, and learning stuff. You rock!
    Cats are never impressed. With anything, or anyone. They are Far Too Cool.
    Good luck with your real live actual people! You'll be ace! xxxx
