Good one, Lance

I am currently employed at the Cougareat on BYU campus. In order to work in food, you have to go through extensive, online trainings that are a huge pain. One of those trainings is cashier training.

I decided to get a head-start on the the trainings awhile ago. I watched the cashier training video and checked it off my list. But then, two weeks later I realized that there was an online certification test that needed to be completed with the training video in order to be fully qualified to be a cashier. I went to review the material but the site wasn't working. I couldn't remember everything from the video, but I figured that the test couldn't be too hard. I took the test and failed.

But I just clicked on the test and started again. I failed again.

Then I failed again.

After another attempt, a message box appeared that said I had attempted the test too many times. I still hadn't passed, and now I couldn't take it anymore. Good one, Lance.

Now what?

I didn't get fired, at least. I emailed my boss and she said I had to go schedule an appointment with the head money lady and take the test with her. Great. From now on, however, I will call IT Tech before I get impulsive and take a test unprepared. I will at least call my boss before I'm in the hole. I need to be ready, in general, for Internet failure. It's a common occurence. I will never put my employment at risk because of a computer malfunction.
