Well I'm back from my lovely stent up to Walnut Creek for training. Here's a few observations:
1. Having your name on the screen at the rental car VIP area bypassing a line and going straight to your car is cool.
2. Though I was looking forward to having my own king size bed to sprawl across, getting 2 queens was not too shaby. One to lay on, and one to lay all of my junk on.
3. They gave us caffeine all day long (coffee/hot tea with breakfast, iced tea (with no option for water) for lunch, and bottled cokes all day long during meeting times). Do you think they were trying to tell us something about their program?
4. The high and mighty G.O. that had been glorified an my mind all these years was a simple building with worn down carpet and wood panneling everywhere. I still can't believe the high level execs making over 10 million a year walk on that same carpet that made me cringe.
5. I think I actually like meetings.
All in all, I had a good time and got to know some of the people I work with better.
