It wasn't my fault. The speech wasn't there. I swear!

I am blogging at night. What...have I gone nuts? I am, by nature, a morning blogger. I like to start my day by airing my dirty laundry first thing in the morning. But I have been reduced to night blogging. Why? Because at work nowadays, I actually have to...gasp...WORK. What a concept!

Actually, all this work business is actually going ok. I feel more in my element helping out with training the new hire class. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about having to get up in front of the class and having to speak. I HATE public speaking. But, in this case, I actually know what I am talking about, so the pressure is off. WHEW! (Back in high school, I had to make a speech at graduation cuz I was the class Salutatorian, but after I flubbed my speech, everyone was probably either thinking "What the hell were they thinking when they made HER Salutatorian?" or "Awww...how nice. They made a retard the class Salutatorian.") But come when we have to talk about cash aid....well, let's just say I don't have much knowledge on that program. But the trainer does, so we are cool there. Cuz if I have to teach anything about cash aid, the whole class is screwed - lol. Hopefully, I will learn some stuff about cash aid in the process. I hate not knowing everything - hehe.

Back to the high school speech....I have an excuse. I wrote the speech out on paper and gave it to someone who was SUPPOSED to put it on the podium so when I got up there, it would be there. But when I got up there, it was nowhere to be found. To this day, I have no idea what happened to it.

But I digress. I had to clear that up. I am not "special." I just have a bad memory. And an eternal case of bad luck.

Anyway, it is only 2 days into the training class, and who knows what will happen in the next 7 weeks, but it is off to a good start. We have a good group of people who all seem eager to learn all of this stuff required for the job. Which is good, cuz if the class was all bored stiff, I would be bored too. And we can't have me nodding off during class now, can we? ;)
