In case you were wondering. I passed. Then I passed out. My mock calls for Carnival were today and they were supposed to take an hour and a half. We were to do 10 scenarios and the teacher said that we would probably get through only 7 of them. I was finished in just under an hour with all ten. This had me feeling pretty good about myself. From that point, I was sent to answer live calls.(ie get paid). Here I was feeling so great about my newfound skills and WHAM!!! Back to back calls from agents, some who speak great english, some not so great, some wanting this, others wanting that for 3 solid hours.
This picture represents just what happened to me at the end of the work session today. Hopefully, it will not be so bad next week. I am scheduled 4 hours a day M-F. Wish me luck!

Congratulations! You are the person I would want to talk to if I had cruise questions. I hope you are feeling better.

I'm still so excited for you that you passed. And really appreciative that I didn't come and get whatever it is that you had...

Yes, and now Leigh Ann and John have strep like symptoms that didn't turn out to be strep in the 15 minute culture. The doctor started throwing out the word Mono, so we're waiting till tomorrow for the 24 hour culture. I am betting it is strep (what do doctors know?????) So, you can be doubly glad you didn't catch what we all had!
