Training is slow. It’s a lot of reading, a lot of listening to people talk… and a lot of text messaging. Not me, I wouldn’t think to text message during work. Seriously. That has got to the rudest, most disrespectful thing I have ever witnessed. It wasn’t just the teenagers either…no, Mommy’s, old men, college students… all with their fancy phones hidden under the desk, thumbs whipping back and forth. The trainer had to have seen, it was impossible to miss.

Must not have bothered him much, he never said a word… but oh my, I had a hard time keeping my mouth shut. My phone goes on silent and into my purse, didn’t even bring it out on break… I understand having them on for emergencies, kids and family and the likes… but an entire conversation during our first day of class? So not the time or place. There’s 16 people in my group, I’d say 10 of them text messaged the entire 8 hours we were there. It just boggles my mind.
