First day (or night!) of work

My employment at UPS began last night with several hours of in-class instruction. I was impressed by the efficiency of their operations, and it's more complicated than I originally thought.
After class, our instructor asked me to stay for a few minutes as the other 7 newbies left for home. After telling me to have a seat, he asked, "Tell me Troy, why is it you're here at UPS?"
I was sort of confused - was he thinking I was a pansy and wouldn't be able to handle the labor?
The best bet always being honesty, I responded, "I need part-time work while I'm in school and the benefits and tuition assistance are too good to pass up."
"I've been teaching these classes for awhile now," he said, "and every once in a while, someone like you comes in."
"Where is he going with this?" I thought to myself. "Is he ready to fire me already because my reasons are too parasitic?"
"I'm going to need you in some areas," he explained, "not that everyone else in the class isn't capable, but I can tell that you'll be able to move up quickly. Are you OK with that?"

Crazy. I was only there for four hours. I barely spoke. And I'm already poised for a promotion. Good thing too, because the hours will be closer to 20 (rather than 25-30) and the physical requirements are a lot less strenuous.

This job may not be too bad after all.
