Trial by Fire

Okay so today was my first week at the new job. I had been promised a week of training at a nice hotel which got changed to "please come in Monday to the office, we need you."

My urge to flee this ultimate chaos is strong. I walked in on my first day and my supervisor was not at work. My boss was not at work. The person who was to teach me was not at work. A very nice woman named Cindy who was hired exactly one week before me spent five minutes giving me her very detailed notes on the computer software which she had just acquired.
And then I was pretty much on my own. You have got to be kidding me. Even my mother was shocked. She said to me "That's ridiculous, they just let anyone open their own business, huh?" The answer is yes, actually, they do. I have no idea what I am doing and the girl I replaced messed up 95% of the accounts I am taking over. But on the bright side no one is concerned with my computer skills, everyone in the office is supernice and my boss is not a malicious jerk.
