OJT Mentor
I found out this morning I had been invited to a meeting for OJT Mentors/coaches. I thought it was an error, after all, that was just a step away from my dream job. I'd tried to get into OJT Mentors twice before but the timing was never right for me.
Turns out, I was invited accurately, no accident. It was a meeting for 20 people out of our whole location to do a new project. First off, I am a pharm tech, I work at a HUGE mail order facility, in an office environment. We do not physically touch the drugs there. My current job is dealing w/ rxs that have problems, when we have to communicate w/ the patient or md. Well OJT is the 30-90 day program all newbies go to after their 2 wks of hardcore training. Well generally the OJT crew is about 25 people at one time. We have hired soooooo many people in the last 6 mths and we are continuing to grow, we're not replacing people. So not only are we running out of room, but we also are not turning them out quick enough. Somehow in the last few mths their "OJT process" has not been successful. The plan is to get these newbies up to 25 rx/hr and then they "graduate" and leave OJT to join their regular team and sup out on the floor. Well they have ppl in there now who have already been there 90 days and are not hitting 25/hr. I personally beleive they should be fired, but that's just me.
So this new team of people (myself included) are what they called..... an expert on the system, have excellent personalities, and a ton of knowledge. Woooooo wee, what a compliment right??? This is great for me b/c I do feel like I am all of thsoe things but I always have been. My first year w/ the company was tainted by a sup who didn't like me and she talked crap about me to other sups. So i had difficulty getting along w/ people and being acknowledged. Since then, the last year and a half, I've slowly worked to gain trust, respect, and acceptance among my peers. So today was just what I needed to confirm it was all working out. I need the sups to understand me if I'm ever going to make sup myself.
Oh, I went off on another tangent, but the job is basically this: I will walk the OJT area half of my day answering questions the newbies may have. The other half of the day I work in the OJT queque online answering questions on there. It's cool. We got out of the meeting at 11:45am today and by 12pm by boss had me over there doing it. That's why I did the tweet about my feet killing me b/c I wore heels today and spent 5 hrs ONNNNNNNN my feet. That sucked! But it was so much fun, answering questions, meeting the new people, chatting w/ other mentors, it was great. I also had 3 great mini convos w/ a high up manager (who i used to work laterally with before he got promotion after promotion) and it was good. We joked but also talked about plans for OJT to straighten it all out. He's a cutie, just incase I didn't say so before. My friend and new mentor buddy, Star and I, were joking about his package. We laugh a lot acting up at work, getting in trouble for being too loud. IE, the excellent personalities. haha! There's a positive spin for the day. I loved it!!! Excited to do it again tomorrow but I will be prepared, I will be wearing my addidas athletic flip flops.
Ohhhh and PRINCE CHARMING...b/c I was up all day everytime he went to break we crossed paths. so he'd stop and chat, followed me once across the entire building getting a chance to stare at my ass the whole way. It was cute! He was super flirty, happy, friendly, and joking today. Today I go sooooooo close to asking him his age and/or sign. Those things I'm super curious to know. In fact, at the end of the day, 530, I was going to ask him if he had any kids and then he just up and left. I thought he'd be there until 630 so I was caught off gaurd when he left.
Ohhh and I have the interview for the Deployment position I wanted, it's tomorrow. I may talk to my boss in the morning about cancelling that. This mentor project is for the next 10 wks and it's more of what I need "career wise". I would be turning down a pay raise, to gain the leadership experience I need. I think it's worth it. AFter the 10 wks I can re-evaluate. We'll see.
Oh and I am not thinking about WL right now. I'm on mushies still after my first fill, watching what and how much I eat. But I'm not weighing. I think about getting my ( . ) and I refuse to see how much fluid I've filled up with. I can see it in my feet and hands. I'll weight maybe mid week next week. Hope everyone else is doing good, sorry this is so long!!!
