Here's a run-down of how my day went yesterday. We were to start at 9 o'clock.
9:15 Fred and Larry enter the room. They leave, looking for a book.
9:30 We're still waiting.
9:42 Larry comes back, passes out employment folders are passed out, then picks them up to redistribute
when he finds out our names are already on the folders. We fill out a form.
9:52 Bathroom break. Larry leaves to talk on the phone.
10:00 Guy behind me is sleeping.
10:04 We get started again.
10:14 One of the people in the room decides he can't work. We wait while this is discussed.
10:30 There is a problem with the forms in our folders. We wait for new forms.
10:43 We have a 10 minute break.
11:07 Badges are handed out. Some of them are wrong. We wait for new badges. We wait for new
lanyards. Fingerprinting begins. We have completed four forms.
12:30 We're still fingerprinting, but break for lunch.
1:30 We wait.
2:00 Somebody else comes into the room and has us complete three more forms. He leaves. Larry
comes back.
3:00 We fill out the Census Employment Inquiry again. We all completed this form once when we tested.
3:26 I am certain that time has stopped completely.
3:33 Instruction begins.
4:00 Day ends.
Only three more days of training....
First, I am impressed that you can get this posting done before work.
