training and easter goodness
It’s been a couple of days of training at work. I’m not usually a fan of training at work. Mainly because I’m not given a choice whether or not to go, but I pretty much still have my normal day job to do. So after training, I usually end up spending the next few days working really long days to catch up.
But not only was this training actually valuable - I did the Think On Your Feet training course - but it’s quite clearly a quiet week in the world today. I sent my regular customers an email early on Tuesday morning letting them know what to do instead of emailing me - usually this is almost pointless, cos for some reason they ignore it. But most of them actually listened this time round! So in the end, two days of pretty cool training (and it was even finished by 2:30pm this arvo), half an hour back at my desk doing a little bit of work, and I’ve got no work to catch up on!
The only disappointing thing is that cos I was on training I missed out on hearing John Dickson come and speak in my office!! I was so excited to get an email saying that he was coming to speak on Tuesday (and today he spoke at the Pitt St office). And I was even more excited to walk past the auditorium as I got a lunch break (only as he was finishing up) and see that there was a good 200 people in that auditorium :D
He was there speaking about the facts of Easter, pre-empting his The Christ Files documentary that is on Channel 7 on Friday arvo. I’m really looking forward to that - have a great admiration for him. He’s a very, very educated man and I really enjoy hearing him speak. Should be tops.
Massive shoutout to the long weekend that’s on its way - 4 days working, 4 days off, 4 days working… that’s an awesome combo. 4-day weekend deserves brilliance and wonder showered on it for that. Let alone for the reason that it’s a 4-day weekend - that just makes it the single best time of the year :)
