just writing

I'm exhausted - thanks work for letting people go home early and then 20 minutes before I was to clock out.... you call all TE's to 8 hours... yayyy.. seriously??? I was struggling with the last 20 minutes of work.. NOW I had to take a 30 min lunch at 1 am.. And then work TWO MORE HOURS after that pointless lunch!!

man it was a frustrating night. But also an informative one.  We learned more about the new position.

There are about 600 people to interview for 462 positions. When I heard that, I was relieved! Whew! That is some good odds.  I also had a review the night before.  It went so well that I hope I'm not getting my hopes up! haha. My speeds in all the different platforms are relatively good. On most, I am keying over 100%.  Keying over 100% means that I am keying faster than the REC's average in that platform.  I am a little slow in some areas but I am hardly in those platforms. My average error rate is 3.65% and they want it at 3.1%. So it's close! But if they look at my error rates for each individual platform then I have some really high error rates.  But then again, the ones with the highest rates I haven't been in those in a long time.  And to get the rate down, I'd have to key it perfectly for like 3 months!  So the supervisor who was telling me about my error rates told me to stay with my strengths and stay away from those high error rates platforms.  You'd think to go to my weaknesses right? Well... She said to use my speed and lower error rates in my strong platforms to defend myself in my interview.  To point out my strengths to them and say if I slow down a bit in my fastest platforms and perfect those error rates, then I can work on my weaknesses.

But overall, I feel confident.  I've been told by 2 supervisors that I have a good chance. so phewwww!! Now.. the interview.. They start next week, as in Monday. Then they are doing 3 groups of 5 day breaks.  We have to have a 5 day break in order to start as a PSE (the new position).  The 5 day breaks start on Aug 8, 15 and 22.  So hopefully I get the position. The next 4 months are going to be stressful.  I have to go through another probational period!! And I'm not excited for that.

anyway.  kids are crying like crazy.  they didn't listen to my letter on FB... and working on 4 hours of sleep is hard... Oh boy...
