Me and my boss will be "spending time together" tomorrow.
I don't know whether to be thankful or if I should be dreading this....

Okay, upon starting my job here as a plastics sales person I have had practically NO training. I'm familiar with the stainless steal and aluminum material but when you get right down to it, i had no clue what I was getting myself into when I agreed to take this guys place.
There is SOOO much to know about plastic to be a truly successful sales person...

when I started, I had to become certified and so I had to take this test....
so that helped me a TINY bit but really, I didn't retain the information...I just answered the questions.

and then I had one week of training with my boss and then he had a vacation that he had already planned ahead of time so after only ONE week of training, I was thrown into the deep end and was told to swim with the big kids. I didn't even get wing thingies to keep me afloat.
WORST WEEK EVER!!!!

anyway....its been several months since then but I think my boss is finally realizing that I still haven't a clue what I'm doing.
Most of what I'm doing is guess work.
"I guess this is what the price is"
"I guess that that material is the same as this material"
etc...

But now he sees that I still need training (mainly because he's annoyed with how I go about handling orders and such) and is planning on sitting with me for a bit tomorrow.

Which is fine.
But I'm afraid that he wont be so impressed with the amount of information I have retained in the 6 or so months I've been working here. Because in my opinion, its not a lot. We shall see. I just hope I actually get something out of this tomorrow...

i tried to read this blog, but i was distracted by this stunning page layout! what genius made that image and picked the color scheme?

we still need to do something about the page header though. it's weird taking up two lines.

Haha. Maybe I shouldn't say as much in the header...? Loving the title though. AWESOME!
Glad I came up with that.
The page still needs some tweaking but I think I can change a few things...
