Kill me now. →[More:]I am on a course all day today, and all day tomorrow. It is about a subject so dull that I can barely remember what it is. And the course is being given by my employer's equivalent of David Brent, even down to the goatee beard and the voice.

Master the subject. Become a trainer.

This, they tell me, is what a calling feels like, sometimes. Boredom. Stulifying, tear jerking, stick-a-fork-in-it boredom. It's the greatest motivator.

Heh, no chance, my 'real' job is too cushy. But to do the real job I have to endure these ordeals every few months.

Awww, sorry to hear that jan:(

Hope it's over and done with as soon as possible, so that you can get back to the cushy one again!

Tuesday I am going to have a eight hour class on how to submit invoices to the government payment system. So, no sympathy from me, I will have my own pain. I might have to gnaw my own leg off to survive.

Can you sneak in a book? Hide it under the table edge and read. That's what I did in my math classes.

Capn - you are a funny, funny guy.

Unfortunately no, because this is stuff I really need to know about. But I've already forgotten everything I was told today.
