:-( I'm really, really sorry for what happened. Yeah, it does make you wonder... Things like that are why I am so concerned about safety. But, try and focus on what's ahead. You may be getting that call someday soon.

I GOT IT! July 21st. :-D See you coworkers at the office!

You know, it was almost like the block where Tyler Village sits has a sort of safety force field around it. The areas I drive by to get to the building seem a bit threatening, but when I arrived there, almost no one was around and the atmosphere was nice and calm. It did feel a little weird being there only because I have never been to an office where it was still in the process of being renovated. Other than that, I walked past a couple people in the garden without feeling like I had to watch what they we're doing, I parked on a sidewalk spot right in front of a telephone pole, and was more worried about running into the pole than someone poking for a fight... Basically I had more concern about how blazing hot it was outside compared to getting mugged or something. Though I did come at an off-peak time, the area was really secure and safe. I can't wait to go back tomorrow! :lol: (Hopefully i'll find a better parking spot...)

Hey there! Yeah, that test was a killer. I sat there for about an hour and a half, studying each question, and processing each answer until there was a faint glow around A B C or D. :-) Well to be completely honest with you, I have no experience in computer consultation, and I have never used Excel before they had told me there was a test. Also, i'm currently not attending college. Just a high school grad. :-P Totally... I can imagine what it will look like a few months from now, and I can't wait to see the office finished, it'll look so cool!

UPDATE: I'll be back in on Thursday at 10:00. Going to meet with Jason, possibly for an interview. (I guess this means I passed the test!?) See you guys then! 8-)

Got an e-mail stating i'll get an update on Monday or Tuesday. Was just curious because when I had taken the test last week, Jason said i'd be contacted within 2-3 days. Nothing wrong with keeping people on their toes, I guess!

Thank you Smitten! And thank you Irish. I'm looking forward to meeting everybody. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Had the test taken care of and hopefully it passed. Got there around one, came back home at four, woo! Man that test was a lot harder than I thought. I anticipate a re-do coming up soon, hehe. The building is incredible. That garden by building 44 is something else. And the space opposite of it would make an awesome park/garden as well. Really coming along great! It was a little weird walking into the place, only because I pictured a furnished office building with fancy paintings and desks set up. Not disappointed at the least though! In fact, it was so relieving seeing people dressed in jeans and t-shirts. :-) And it was nice to meet a few of you guys! Hope I work with you soon!

I took a drive to Tyler Village, practicing how I get there. When I come in for the test, where should I park? It looks like there were a few cars along side the building, and an empty parking lot in the back, but didn't see any particular signs for 'employee parking' or such.

:-D July 31st is my 19th birthday! And thank you very much, I think I might need it, lol. Eric, the HR person who called me, told me that I shouldn't worry too much, because I probably wont pass it with flying colors, lol. Man, you're telling me! I'm trying to memorize every shortcut to every possible solution to any questions that might be on this test. And in spite of it all, I don't even have the Excel 2003 program! :laugh:

Hello everyone, Great news! On Tuesday the 24th I have my Excel test scheduled for 2:00! Woohoo! I might get to see some of you, and finally be able to see this PC Helps place i've so highly heard of. :-D

Hopefully sometime soon. One of their applicants :)

Hope all goes well in the next couple of days for the move-in. Wish there was something I could do to help! Being the newest suck-up and all. :P Are there pictures of the Philly PCHelps offices? Just curious to see what you're moving from.

Security isn't one of my worries about it, actually. He might think it could be a troubling place but I did notice the cameras above almost every door. Seemed really nice. Wont be an issue anyway because most of the time would be spent inside the building which i'm sure is really spiff.

That's pretty neat. We just drove by it this afternoon and it didn't look bad; most of the reconstruction so far must be on the inside, didn't see any cranes or work trucks outside on the premises. Also noticed new windows, PC Helps is on the top floor? We were thinking of going inside, but figured we needed some sort of guide to be appropriately welcomed into the building. Some other time! Just from driving around the place my boyfriend still wants to get me some pepper spray, lol. Oh well, better safe than sorry I guess :)

Oh no! >< Was being honest on how awesome the name was, lol -And i'm going to take a drive down there this weekend to check out the place. Wonder how much more they've gotten done :)
