Never turn down training your employer is paying for. Never know what you can take from it or when it might help you in a way you weren't expecting.

 

Absolutely, I was enrolled in the course without any forewarning and although I'm not moaning about the free training per-se, it's more the fact that when it comes to this kind of work, I'm actually pretty dumb! (Or I think I am)... The problem is, I've been in my job 13 years, I joined as an 18 year old and it's all I know.. So to learn something new is daunting... if that makes sense.

Get em. Everyone that learns something new feels dumb when they start it, don't worry about that part.

I'm started to feel better in all fairness, you guys are making me feel relatively normal, and that's surprising!!

Would you like to know the most important thing to personal improvement? Being humble enough to go through the learning process. Wanna know the second most important one? Trusting that you can learn. As Frank Herbert once wrote:

 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">"Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

Man I hope nobody else gets this stomach bug that my wife had, and kindly passed on to me.  I wouldn't put it on my top ten 'to do list'.

Know what I used to dream about as a little boy? Growing up, getting an education, and getting the opportunity to do Computer Based Training all day. ALL. DAY. LONG.

I know what you mean, meetings all day long is equally rewarding.

Good thing I have coffee. I mean, who isn't just enthralled when a slide show is used to teach the phonetic alphabet?!

Phonetic alphabet?  Is that like what teenagers use to text each other?

All day that's rough I had to sit through an hour yesterday and that's was hard enough!

Did too! They were just called "cardboard boxes" back then. We would put lizards in them and pretend that they were Ninjas. Sound familiar?!

I saved up all my misery for one day.

My 5 year old son has asked for a Wrestling ring and figures for Christmas.

 

I'm not a huge Wrestling fan (I was in the early-mid nineties), but I can't wait to get this!


Not that I'll know who any of the Wrestlers are nowadays.

I loved wrestling when I was a kid but they lost me when they started commercial breaks mid match!
