Professional in training

Three hours of orientation videos and I’m officially employed at the campus rec center. Tonight was my first real shift and let me just say that checking people into the gym is way more complicated than I thought it would be.

Apparently there are seventeen different membership types, four separate computer systems, and at least six ways to mess up equipment checkout. The supervisor who trained me yesterday made it look so easy, but when that rugby team showed up at 8pm wanting to rent volleyballs I basically just stared at the computer screen hoping the right buttons would light up.

Orientation packet: 47 pages. My attention span: 12 minutes. This should go well.

Carmen stopped by during her workout to see how I was surviving, which was sweet except she caught me trying to figure out why the printer was making angry beeping sounds. Turns out you actually have to put paper in it. Who knew?

The good news is I only accidentally locked someone out of the system once, and I figured out how to fix it before my supervisor noticed. The bad news is I have another shift tomorrow and apparently Friday nights are when all the intramural teams want equipment at the same time. Send help.
