Training Day
I'm currently up in Boston, working on some ever fun Siebel Analytics training. We're currently on break, so I figured that I would use this time to write up a quick blog entry.
Things have been going well in Atlanta. Work's fine other than a little "misscommunication" issue between IT and my team. The short of it was that IT got pissy about how much work they had to do and took it out on the business. It got blown up and a bunch of executives from our firm got involved to try to sort things out...really just making things worse for everyone involved. Other than that, things are going smoothly and we're making our little space on the grand old interweb a nicer place.
Training is going well. I've picked up a few things, but not a whole lot. The really interesting stuff is going to be coming tomorrow when we talk about more of the back end application, because frankly, I don't know much about it and I'll finally be learning something. Today has just been pretty much an introduction to some of the new features that are in the newer releases. Hopefully, the client that I am working with is going to be upgrading to the most recent release pretty soon, and all this training will actually come into play.
This weekend is pretty exciting. On Friday, Scott, Liz and me are going to be driving to my parents house, picking up Melissa on the way and getting to hang out for Scott's birthday. On Sunday, both Scott and my father are going to be participating in the Dark Horse 40, which is an annual bike race that those two have been going to for the past few years. Scott is really looking to sandbag the sport class and see if he can't take home the gold. He's got a good shot, it'll just depend on who else is sandbagging it worse.
Anyway, it's about time that I get back to the training because it'll be starting in a few minutes.
