Well my first week at Belle Tire is over. I have to say that I really think I'm going to like it there (fingers crossed!). It's pretty laid back and I can pretty much make my own hours. So far, I've been going in early so I can leave early. I was home by 5:00 every day last week and that was sweet!
Another thing that we don't do there that I'm really happy about is keep track of our time. I know that sounds like a trivial item but at my last employer we had to track EVERY 15 MINUTES of time we worked and it was really horrible. At least for me it was being the OCD freak that I am.
My first assignment was to create a report detailing an estimate for work to be done. Not too bad even thought it took me pretty much all week to get it done. That said, I had a pretty big learning curve with the database (Informix - which I've never used) and Crystal Reports (again, I've never used). But, I got it done and even added a nice little feature that allows the customer service rep to email it right to the customer. All in all, a productive week.
