So week one equaled a complete success, and has been a very in depth learning experience (Made me honestly miss Highschool a little bit). So far we have learned the FDCPA/State laws as well as Company Policies, and we were givin' a test on our knowledge/memory, I did exactly what I thought would happen, I remembered everything but as the test got closer in the day (day 2) I began to forget and lose all what I did know; But we reviewed before the test, and what I had trouble with (the State laws) I made sure to listen closely and I pretty much did it an easy way because I did the State laws first, then went through the FDCPA after because FDCPA was alot easier, though more questions were involved. Overall, though, I aced the test 100% first try and could have gotten 105% but I chose not to try and even write out the 'pitch' part of our call model. To end the week 1 training we did systems (except for the phone system). It was pretty easy, I am fairly comfortable with going into this no experience, head first in a pool of sharks.
Now that week one is over, and successful, week 2 is when we jump on the phones and begin to bonus. I am more nervous about being able to dispositioning calls. I don't feel I understand it completely. We'll see how this all goes down.
Other news:
I've been reading up on actually going from a PSD mock up of a site design to actually coding it, though I haven't put time/effort into it yet, I plan to try and get it going. I need to get to working on this stuff so I can finally get my web design company on the plus side of things. Also, the recording studio, like the other projects is probably put on hold for now until we can find funds for the location, equipment, and advertisement (though myspace, facebook, and craigslist should be enough). In the mean time, I am going to work and save money from my current job and pay off some tickets I got a few years ago, due to the fact that I haven't been able to pay them because of my job situation, and hopefully get this nice truck in town. Wish me luck, haha.

QOUTE/JOKE:
A man was lying in bed with his new girlfriend. After having great sex, she spent the next hour just rubbing his testicles -- something she obviously loved to do. As he was enjoying it, he turned and asked her, 'Why do you love doing that?’ ‘Because’, 'she' replied, ‘I miss mine.’
