Practice saying so in front of a mirror, believe in yourself.
You’re smart and have oodles of experience, just remember to breath and focus.
 
Best of luck Begonia, I think you will do well.

Will do @Bron357!
Power pose, physiologic sighs and slow down (I tend to process and move too quickly... trauma leftover).
None of the material is hard, my logic brain is saying pshaw, but my nervous system is arguing. I've been revising and trying to understand the process as I'm so logic driven. I think I grasp a large part of it. Well see eh?
 
HI:

Miss Begonia, did you feel the earthquake this AM. My sister in Vangroovie did. Eerie! Be well and safe.

cheers--Sharon

It went okay. I survived. I pretended not to remember much as my trainer is very aggressive. She'd throw curveball after curveball at me. It's just how these trainers are and partly why I loathe training here. I'm not intuitive on computers so that's always a struggle. I get better once I'm comfortable, and I'm not in such a steep learning curve.

The underlying workplace politics is very hard. My trainer is ok on that front but I had some upsetting encounters with a regular worker in that area. He won't be my new work partner tho, thankfully. He's insisting i got the job under medical accommodation and not under seniority. The politics of that are long and tedious so I'll spare you. Just an ugly way to end the day but welcome to the corporation I work for (eye roll).

On day 3 of 4 days off now and then 3 more training days (Thursday thru Saturday), one off and then clearance day. Anxious as hell but trying to calm my nervous system.

Thanks for asking D.

How are things on the Gary front?
 
Day 2 of training down. The other 2 agents intentionally closed up so I had to do 95% of the fares. My trainer said she was going to go "hard and fast" (sorry, that sounds gross, I know) with me and throw me in the deep end. I guess she sussed me out about knowing more than I let on.
Made some mistakes, not gonna lie, and mostly mistakes of omission. Those are important tho, as some could be critical pass points. I'll try to tighten up on those tomorrow.

Training is so exhausting. Omg.

Fundamentally this is out of my comfort zone as I'm an introvert working with the traveling public. Currently I'm now in my bed reading and having some quiet time to settle my nervous system.

Can I just say if/when I pass this sucker, imma gettin' a new piece of bling. That or a weekend away. Hell yeah.

Take care friend!! Rest well. xoxo
 
Day 3 of training. Pace was picked up even more as the other two agents were stood down while I worked.

Took in advanced fares with some complexity to them. Not gonna lie, made more errors, and were from going too fast. Why? Cuz the trainers keep pushing speed and it drives me
n u t s whilst training, feels like a runaway train at times. Anyway, I know where I went wrong and I fixed them. Errors are permitted as long as you recognize them and can fix them.

During clearance I'll slow down, as I'm told that speed isn't a failing point, altho extreme slowness is. Somewhere in the middle is what I'll aim for I guess.

One more training day and then one day off (a shift correction going from a pm to an am shift). Then I clear on Monday morning. I remain hopeful.
