Happy Friday everyone! This week has flown so far!
Not much to report in regards to my challenge. I do need to transfer some Ebay money to my ING account - then I will update my challenge amount. I haven't had a chance to get it to it yet! No sign of my sharebuilder bonuses. I've read that it takes a month but it's been a little longer. I will try to be patient!
I tried to log into the training site today to start training for my new job and I got hung up on some technical issues. I had to run a program on my computer to make sure it has the proper requirements. But, it took me forever to get it to work because my firewall and antivirus kept interfering. I couldn't proceed with the training until I did this, so I got behind. Got it straightened out but it was already late and I just had to get to bed (I work nights for my regular full time job). So, I will work on the training in the morning. I can do it at my own pace, but I do have to complete it and take the test by Monday. I have no idea how long or involved it is....but I guess I know what I'll be doing this weekend!
I'm really happy about this job and the money that it will being in, but, I hate to spend money to make money (I know you have to....but I just feeling I'm going backwards instead of forwards)! I have to pay for the installation of a 2nd phone line, and a headset.
In all, I am excited about this venture. It's not a lot of money up front (not much more than min wage) but I know it's enough to bring in my $400 a month to meet my challenge goal so I can get my parents paid off. Once I get trained on more lines for different things, I'll be able to get more hours if I want them. The worst part about this is that you get paid for the amount of time you're actually on calls, not the number of hours you work. So a lot of it depends on how busy it is at the time. Some of the lines I'll get to work later do have a guaranteed $8 an hour, so that will be a little better. But, I keep looking at it this way -- I do not have to depend on this money to live -- it is all extra to pay off debt. And, that is a good thing!!!!
Anyway, this whole entry is one big huge ramble, so I'd better get going. Depending on how involved my training is, I may not blog much for a couple days.
Have a great weekend everyone!
It's FRIDAY!!!!
