Had some issues, otherwise not a bad day..

Today at work started off very badly. The head of training came in first thing this morning to ask the class what we thought were the positives and negatives about the whole experience. Most of the people in the room were very negative. People that have been doing very well on the phones started voicing opinions that they felt training was insufficient and they were not ready. One of these people was my partner from yesterday and for today. We chose each other as partners and we got along great.. yesterday. After the negative experience first thing this morning apparently my friend there was really down on the company as a whole. She felt wronged and mistreated by not being trained correctly, I guess. I could go on and on about how I feel the training was fine, but that's just not how she felt about it. She carried this bad taste in her mouth over to the phones. Just like that my supportive, helpful, positive, and reassuring teammate vanished. In her place was this really negative, angry, uninterested, and very unsupportive person. I couldn't take calls with her listening in and throwing harsh negative criticism my way. I decided to go sit by myself and the day got better from that point on. She had the freaking nerve to act all upset and huff out of the room for a while. Like I did something! I'll never understand that. Aside from that rotten beginning the day went pretty well. I got one "take" but it was a very slow day and I left with a good feeling about things overall. We (Deb and I) have plans tomorrow when I get home from work to go with her friend and her friend's baby to another friend's house. I don't really know the other friend's boyfriend too well and I got kind of an odd vibe from him when I first met him in a mall. I'm sure he's a nice guy, he just didn't come across to me as being too friendly. Until tomorrow.. --------
