Long week
13 years ago
Wow, it's been a while since I spent any sizable time here. For those of you not already in the know, last week I (finally) got a job working in Information Technology. The company is Retail Data Systems and they specialize in Point of Sale systems for retail shops. Everything from grocery stores to restaurants are in their client list. My job is Support Specialist for their hospitality division. Which means I'll be focusing on our restaurant clients.
Essentially what my job entails is to set up the register (point of sale) hardware and software, program the client's menu into the system, and install it on site. We also do troubleshooting of any systems we install. When I say "system," I mean the registers, the back office servers, receipt printers, kitchen printers, credit machines (the hardware that processes credit transactions), and anything else the client needs as part of the PoS system. I still have a *ton* to learn, but so far so good, and I'm having a blast to boot.
Thought I still have about a week out of my two week notice to my previous employer, I started training at RDS almost immediately. Which means I haven't had a day off since last Wednesday and probably won't be off until next Wednesday (RDS is closed for the 4th). It's going to be awesome to have a regular 9 to 5, Monday through Friday job for once.
Anyway, that's my quick update! See you around!
