My mom keeps saying I shouldn't be sitting around that I should be preparing for my job that I start in 11 days. I don't understand what she means by that though and it's driving me crazy because she keeps saying it.
I'll be working for corporate AT&T as a tech specialist though I'm not sure what category they'll put me in yet (as in what I'll specifically be working on) but I know it'll be a lot of navigating through user accounts, troubleshooting and scheduling appointments for at home fixes as well as signing people up for new plans.
Like I said though I don't know exactly what I'll be working on. They'll tell me when I start working and I'll have 7 weeks of classroom and on the job training first.
My mom keeps coming home and saying I need to start "putting my head in the game" for working.
I don't get it though… I already work on my computer all the time (which is why I got the job).
And that I should be working on time management and multi-tasking.
I do both of those already too. Like every day I put aside enough time to make dinner before she gets home and while making dinner I also clean up around the house while things are boiling or heating up in the oven. I can multi-task just fine. I don't know what else I could multitask while doing. I mean all there is to do at home is cook, clean and do stuff on my computer/ipad.
She also says I need to start acting like I'm at work… what? How do you act like you're at work at home?
Earlier she started yelling at and insulting me and I started crying because she was saying really cruel things and wouldn't stop to listen to me and then she snapped and said "YOU CAN'T ACT LIKE THIS AT WORK! YOU CAN'T CRY WHEN YOUR BOSS YELLS AT YOU!" but my boss isn't going to sit there and scream at the top of her lungs and insult me… and my boss is different she can yell all she wants but she can't physically hurt me and I'm not going to be doing anything that would condone her screaming and insulting me.
She also saw me using my iPad earlier and was like "You shouldn't be playing child games! You should be doing stuff for work!" I don't know what she expects me to do and when I asked her she said "Oh no don't you play that game with me! Do not disrespect me!" so I said "No I'm being serious. What do you want me to do?" and she told me to shut my mouth and left the room.
I just don't understand what she means.It's not like I can pick up my phone and start calling people and fixing stuff…
