Back At Work

Last week I had a meeting to prove I'm legal to work in the U.S.That's pretty standard these days.I had an orientation day, then I volunteered to go in on Saturday to clean demo carts and the kitchen and go through supplies and put them away. There were enough of us that it didn't take long.

It's comfortable to be in the same store with many of the same people, but there are some differences that are a bit uncomfortable. Strickly speaking, we don't use the employee break room, as we aren't Sam's Club employees. It's okay, as there's always the cafe area for food and somewhere to sit. I may have to do some changes for lunch time though, like getting an ice pack for my lunch, though for awhile I'll probably get food at the cafe. So far, they haven't put lockers for us in the kitchen area.

The reliance on my computer for schedules and such, including my work time,is different, but I'll get used to it. I tried doing a "call back" on one of my online learning programs.I'm not sure I did it right or not. Each day we work, we have to verify our time and break time, as well as answer surveys questions about our demo. It needs to be done by the end of the day if we want to be paid for that day.

We have 22 demo people, though not everyone has thier paperwork complete. There's supposed to be 2 team leads, which I thought were already set, but our supervisor told us she has to choose them. She thinks she'll start with one first. Who knows, maybe I'll get to be one, though I have a co-worker who is really interested to do it. I guess we'll see.
