Rough week
It's been a rough week. I've been trying to turn off the faucet in my nose. Don't know what's going on. Only that it runs constantly and goes into my lungs and makes me cough. It's disrupting class at work and I've been carrying a roll of toilet paper with me to blow my nose. Finished off my second roll last night! I've emptied waste baskets 3 times this week. It's disrupting my sleep and I can't figure how I'm still going. Thought it was my allergies kicking in and took Clariden D, but it hasn't helped much unless this stuff is so bad that that's all it can do. Training will be finished Friday and we get on the phones then. Then, for the next two weeks our class will be in "transition" where we'll be on the phones with close supervision. After that, we'll be on our own. The good thing about this operation is that nobody's totally on their own. There are other workers walking the floor just to help anybody that needs it. It's good to have a safety net. My biggest problem is the mechanics,,,getting to the pages I need to help the caller. We've been role playing, and I've noticed that when I know the mechanics of the problem, the words come. Well, I've always been able to talk. Still scared. Foxy hasn't gotten used the schedule , and in another week, I'll be on a new one. My normal schedule will be 11:30AM-8:00PM. I really think I can do this job if I can get the mechanics down.

I\'ve had colds like that, 24 hours of wiping the nose. Hoping it comes to a stop soon. I am seeing some confidence \"I really think I can do this job\", just need the mechanics memorized. Wishing you a good week. Sue
Sounds like you\'re managing just fine, Mike, except for the nose issue. Maybe it\'s the environment you\'re working in.... too dry, too much dust, etc... little things that are in combos can really affect the sinuses. Take care, Mike, nice to hear from you again. Hugs and kisses, Deb :o)
Hi Mike
I was wondering if they are spraying your area with something that is causing the nasal running. You have never complained about anything like this before. So it has to be your working environment.
I remember one time when I was looking for a part time job I started to take a job on the phone selling vitamins. And they said they would be pumping in some kind of strawberry fragrance into the room.
I am sure you will be able to handle the job after the nerves are gone.
Good luck
