The Future
Here's the question: How many of my new fellow co-workers will I convert into future R.O.S. bloggites? Now, how can I know who is safe to ridicule on the world wide web for all to see, and who will come back into these archives and find out that i called them a booger-eating twit? Well, its probably best i try and keep things as optomistic as possible anyways, right? Well So here it is.
The Job
I spent all day "training" today... An all day training session at a data entry job is a little much. Here's the difference between Data Entry at American Water Resources and at my new job. At AWR we picked up stacks of 30 applications at a time, now I pick up batches of 3 at a time. Each file I enroll is about an inch and a half thick. People average 10 enrollments an hour. So, that's enough about specifics.
The People
My Trainer, whom I spent all day with, reminds me a lot of Greg (AWR people know what I'm talking about). Good story about my boss that Kimmy will especially like... she only spent about 5 minutes checking in on me halfway through the day. I, at the moment, was very confused about what I was doing so I stopped and turned to face her. I smiled really big and was like, "I've got some really big news... I'm REALLY good at this." She smiled and I saw that as my opening. There are little pins are my trainers wall (little work incentives). "I hope you have some more of those pins back there for me, I'm about to set records." She laughed and said, "Really? Its a shame then that Temps are elligable." "Yeah?" I said, "Well then I'll just have to steal {the trainers}." She laughed again and said "Alright, I gotta get back to work." Ahh Kimmy... it's good to be cute. You might want to call these new guys up and warn them about me.
The Hot Girl*
Also I've already identified the hot girl at work. I'm already got a 4 week plan in the works. I've already identfied her, that was the first step. Soon I'm gonna figure out where her desk is. And then her name. I figure by the end of the four weeks I'll say hi.
In Conclusion
Anyways, that's all I got for now it's late and I have to work again tomorrow, you guys will just have to be patient until I get a steady place to stay. I will update every night if I can, and I will update standings when I post. Until next time, LATER!
*Hot girl is "hot" only by comparison to my other co-workers, and not by any gauge other than that. My girlfriend on the other hand is beautiful by all standards. ;)

Well that sounds nice. Good work charming her with blatant arrogance weakly disguised as friendly banter. That's one of my personal favorite moves.
And yeah, the office hot girl is rarely hot in any other setting. It's just that when you're locked down with any single group of people, the least unattractive starts to look better and better. I'd imagine the same situation would present itself if you somehow ended up stranded at a leper colony. At first it'd be unplesant, but give you a few days and you'd be eying that girl with most of both arms. I've seen it a million times...
Also, I like that you set a timetable of one month leading up to saying 'hi'. That's like drawing up six drafts of a business to go take a leak. Anyway, good luck with that.
And now, class...

Well, at least I know now that I, FOR CERTAIN, was the "hot girl" at AWR...RIGHT, ROB???
That is a good management story. I doubt that any of them dare to make you a certificate on company time, on company paper, on company machines. Perhaps you should bring in your "Ro-Sham-Bo Champion" certificate and post it. Speaking of posting certificates, you should really stop by sometime and see one of our new folks. This person has what appears to be 25 certificates plastered on her cube, citing everything from notary in a distant county to perfect attendance in grammar school.
All day training for data entry does seem excessive, but don't forget, we've spent days training people here, and they've still screwed things up a month later.

PS - The letter is in the mail to your boss warning her of the dangers of your cuteness. Will they ever learn....?
4 weeks just to say hi...that sounds like a junior high boy! Scott, you said a timeline of one month, and Rob said 4 weeks. SAME THING!
Glad to see you and your boss are getting along. She will soon see that your arrogance is just that and not humor. Or maybe you'll screw up a lot and then she'll see that you are all humor, since your arrogance is unfounded. Good luck with that!

I can only imagine what this "Hot" girl looks like, or as Scott pointed out...just less unattractive girl.
A friend of mine worked at Wells Fargo for a little while and I went with her to a "women's party" (let's just say it wasn't tupperware) that her co-work hosted and some of those ladies were a bit scary.
So good luck with all of that Rob...I'd just recommend that in those four weeks of working up the nerve to say "hi" you do a little investigating....like does she have all her teeth? (that might be a good place to start) Hope all goes well!

There are only two "hot boys" where I work and both are gay. It just doesn't seem fair.
My cousin had a "woman's party" and invited my mom and her's...so I definitely said no. I REALLY don't need to know what kind of toys my mother and aunt are getting! That is just wrong!
Rob, hope your second day of work went well!
Tabitha
Hey a "woman's party" isn't just about toys...there are lots of other "fun" things. ;)
(Personally I find the "toys" a little scary...I have a sexy husband..what do I need those for anyways TMI? ;) )
