Job front news!

Kind of exciting news for me here - I finally got to go to my job training to be a pet instructor! Yay! It only took 3 times of them cancelling, then suddenly the day before the training started it was approved and I was informed that I was going to be starting training in another town in less than 24 hours.
Upon arrival, I found out that not only had my managers not given me the paperwork I needed, but I wasnt aware that I needed a clock in card or that I would have to have a credit card for my hotel room. You know, just in case they want to bill me for something.

But that is really just minor bumps in the road. I actually got to sell a class today, all on my own! I am just so thrilled! I also spoke with 2 other potential "students" about classes, and hopefully they come back and sign up ( even if its not through me, I like the fact that I pointed them down the right road, for both them and the dog.)
I think having a shirt that actually says Pet Trainer on it makes all the difference, really. Before, people would listen and then ask to talk to a PT. But now that I -am- the PT, I have the credibility now for them to take me at my word.

Cool Stuff.
