There have been times this week that I’ve been driven close to suicide, but thankfully we’ve made it to Thursday and I’m looking forward to the weekend.
This course could have been over and done with in about four hours. Well done to Gerard for getting himself a week’s wages out of it. I can’t wait for the inevitable feedback form where I’m supposed to paraphrase everything I’ve learnt and show my humble gratitude for my gracious employers who deemed to endow me with this breathtakingly boring commitment. If I was being honest I would write “Waste of everyone’s time” but I suppose I’ll be kind. Then they might throw another one of these things my way. Because for all my complaining, it has meant that I got to spend the entire week at home, watching Gerard’s efforts on my laptop with one eye while playing games on my carefully hidden Wii with the other. Head Offices all over the country are obsessed with these constant ongoing developmental courses, so if someone within our company is going to be paid to sit at home drinking tea and gaming it might as well be me.
So – yes – I shall endeavour to write a glowing report about the whole experience, saying how I have learnt so much about myself and my workplace, and how grateful I am to have been given the chance to expand my product knowledge and managerial skillset. (That’s assuming I get through tomorrow without hanging myself.)
