Employment, huzzah!
Right now I'm in the middle of my third week at my new job with Sprint. Around November, Jenn told me they were hiring. Finding nothing else more promising by December, I decided to go for it. After a lengthy game of phone tag to get my employment history verified, I was hired. My training began January 4th, and goes on for 7 weeks, so today is the very middle of training (it's going by a lot faster than I might have anticipated, I guess).Although it's a fairly basic call-center job, the lack of huge excitement is countered by the great benefits. I even get a free phone plan, with everything unlimited, so that's nice. Since I get a good discount, I made a small investment in my first smart-phone, which is a Blackberry Curve. A little overwhelming in the number of options, but at least it lets me do everything I could possibly want on my plan.
One downside to my job is the location. On bus and lightrail, the commute averages about an hour and a half each way. At least now I have a fun handheld device to keep me busy, plus I have time to read the whole newspaper for a change! I might even look into a car after training is over and my official shift starts, though I might be able to manage on the scooter once the weather warms up.
In any case, I'll make an effort to post once in a while--maybe my Blackberry will enable some interesting mobile posts.
