uhm, Whats that mean?

i know no one really reads this but if theres one single personcurious about my life, here you go.

I mostly just feel like venting.

I just started my new job working as a Bank Teller for a credit union in tempe. Im full time which is GREAT! it was a lot of time and effort getting a hold of a job like this one.

But let me tell you. when i go to the bank, i never actually think about all the work being a teller actually entails. I figured you just stand there and process little transactions and thats that. But after two weeks of training, today being my first day working with customers, i can tell you its not as easy as it seemed.

Im HORRIBLE at counting cash. And then i get the members that dont speak well, or ask for 100 different transactions, with 100 one dollar bills, depositing half of the bills, and exchanging the other half for a fifty, then depositing that into a savings, then depositing the savings total to a different credit union.


WHOA. Brain overload. So many legal regulations, so many options, so many fine details that if missed, get you in big trouble.

Ill admit, starting this new job is a bit demeaning, a bit discouraging. Im sure with a little time it will get easier for me and ill start to understand, and have my own routines. I just feel so messy right now.

Ive never been a math person, im not a mathematical, quick, thinker. Im slower, i have weird ways of thinking and doing things so going into a financial institution is very different from my usual endeavors.

But aside from my stresses and worries about it, im so thankful for it. I couldnt have asked for a better opportunity. And at this rate ill have a new car in a few months from now with lower rates and free auto service. I cant complain. Ill also get some really great benefits, paid holidays the whole shebang.


Thats pretty much all my life is now. Wake up at 6:30am, work, come home at five, maybe see chris for a little, go home, shower,tell my parents about my day, sleep&snuggle with my dog, and repeat. Im missing my freedom of part time life a little but im sure it'll get better once im not stressed anymore. ANyway thats about it for now.


Two more days till the weekend, woo hoo! You know I will be sleeping in :)
