Second Job

I went in to Ekos to get trained today, and so far that job is pretty underwhelming. I'm seriously considering not going back. We spent the whole morning being read to out of the job manual in a small windowless room. Then we got to practice asking people inane questions in a neutral and non-threatening manner, asking them to distinguish between agreeing "a little" "somewhat" and "very much." Plus, you don't get a real break, and everyone takes their half-assed breaks seperately and all there is to do is stand around in the lobby. They don't even have a lunch room. Right now I vastly prefer my data-entry job, if only because its much more fun socially. Plus they told me that you have to go in 2 shifts a week, when my interviewer specifically said 1, which makes a difference when I'm already working another full time job. Boy what a stinking pile that was.
