Apple Training: The Night Before

I was very recently hired at the local Apple Store. A position that is not easily acquired, it turns out.

Tomorrow, EARLY, I embark on a voyage to Boston where I will being Day One of my Core Training, as they call it.

I've already been sworn to secrecy about delicate and private matters of Apple Inc. I will probably be able to write very little of what I learn tomorrow and over the next two days in Boston. Seriously, though! I could be fired or sued if I divulge details. So I'll have to be vague.

I'm not really scared. I sort of thrive on going into things blindly. I'm not scared of doing things alone or following directions or meeting new people. I just feel anxious, because it's going to be quite a production: waking up early, driving to the mall, parking, walking to the train station, meeting up with the other new hires, getting on the train, the ride, then the curious two block walk in God knows what direction to the training premises . In the very basic directions sent to us by the manager, all they tell us is when we enter the building ,we're to look for a "huge waterfall."

It is just daunting, that's all.

We're going to be there for 9 hours. Well we have 1 hour off for lunch, so 8 hours of Apple training. What on EARTH could they do with us for 8 hours? And three days? I seriously can't even imagine it.

I just have a vision of a huge, high ceiling hall filled with people and Steve Jobs' huge face on a screen saying WELCOME.

Indoctrination begins tomorrow.

UPDATE: So now I know. Three long days! Fun though, if not a little daunting (ftw). And no deets. Sorry. Who cares? No one not even you.
