Found out this morning that the lady who runs the inn is also the mayor. I have to say, I was not surprised. Breakfast was fruit and yogurt, quiche, and bacon. I learned a lot more in training today than I did yesterday. Most of it was stuff that would have been really helpful to know a year ago when we had to set everything up ourselves. Like the receipt format, for example. We had to make up our own using Friendly Ghost Language (it's like html but not, and not the least bit friendly), and whenever I would ask support for help they would tell me I just have to play around with it. Today the instructor gave us a page of definitions for these keywords and commands, and suddenly it all made sense.
We met our customer service rep today. That was fun. He's pretty much the way I pictured him, just older. Like thirty years older. But now we can all put faces to names (or voices, in this case). I don't think I mentioned yesterday but the building is not what I expected at all. When I think of a global software company, I imagine their corporate office to be impressive. I was picturing a seven storey glass building, an open lobby with marble floors, maybe a fountain or indoor garden. Nope. One storey stucco doctor's office-looking building. Dave (our CSR) gave us a tour. He works in a basement cubicle. It's so depressing! Now we know why he walks around all the time.
We had lunch at a deli. I have no idea what the name was. It started with a T. Right after we sat down the high school got out for lunch and kids decended upon the place. The owners give the seniors cake as a graduation gift since they're such good customers during the school year. For dinner we went into Pottstown. TGIFriday's (who had a framed Who poster by the bathrooms) and then we saw the new Indiana Jones movie. Parts of it were good, parts of it I thought were pretty dumb, but I haven't seen the other three so I have nothing to compare it to.
I has a new layout!
