We're number one!
Mar. 11th, 2002 09:31 pmFirst day at work.
Mixed feelings about this, but I think on the whole this job will be a good thing for me.
My trainers, Michèle and France, are nice enough, as is the rest of the team. They're very proBell, unsurprisingly. Very Go Bell! Rah rah rah!
Much gesticulating and emphasising of what a great company Bell is: young and dynamic and growing and blah blah blah. Then insisting that they weren't trying to indoctrinate us. I was amused. :)
Their insurance system would boggle the mind of Franz Kafka, however. Between salary deductions and "flexible dollars" (whatever the Hell that means) we were all thoroughly confused. On the plus side, if I want I can start an RRSP in three months' time. Benefits look pretty darned nifty, too.
The building itself is not particularly enthralling, but I got a very comfy chair, and they've got all these ergonomic thingies set up for our comfort and general wellbeing. Customer service is busy as all getout, so I doubt I'll have the time to get bored with my job. Stupid computer system is counterintuitive, but not impossible to master, I don't think.
Ooog. Day catching up to me. Off to bed.
