back to uni… but in a week.
I spent the last week feeling like I was back in school.
As part of our education in the whole fixed data sales side that I’ve stepped into in the last few months, they sent us on a week long networking design course. Monday to Friday, 9-5 in a classroom, do some serious learning each day… it was pretty intense having not spent that long in a classroom since high school!
But the learning was great. We spent a bit of time going through the “methodology” type stuff – that is, the “how” of selling; pretty boring considering we’ve done it to death – but the rest of the time was spent going into some deep technical stuff. We nailed IP addressing, all the routing protocols, all the 802.x standards… it was great.
It was all the stuff I went to uni to learn. But I did it in a week.
Food was supplied too.. and it wasn’t half bad. And that was my week. Now I need to head back to the office tomorrow and find out how sales have been going and what the gap is that will need to be made up by the end of March.
Off to have lunch with Debbie’s Grandma & Grandpa today… fish and chips, very good.
