The end of this week found me in training again with the same crew from a week ago. It's funny how after spending an entire week locked in a room for eight hours a day learning something new and having a few chit chatty conversations that you have new best friends. This weeks training was on Xcelsius, a program to make some pretty cool dashboards. I was able to keep up for the most part, but using it in real life and getting confident in it is yet to be determined. Seeing everyone from the class before was fun though since they work in different departments and I don't often interact with many of them. It doesn't hurt that most of them are men since I do seem to get along with that sex. One guy from the sheriffs department was pretty funny this week and he told me that its probably a good thing that we don't work together because he would give me crap everyday - all day. I told him to be careful because eventually I would cut loose on him and it might not be as much fun then and told him to ask my ex work husband who was sitting next to him. (Just a disclaimer, the guy is a grandpa and happily married). The ex work husband told him to be careful what he wishes for, ha ha. My boss of course is sitting there and just looks and shakes his head - its so funny to me. Again I have to create my own fun.
Everyone seemed to have had enough this week from either work in general or being in enough trainings over the last two weeks so my boss, another co-worker and I took off at 3:30 and headed to happy hour. They had another name for it and when the other person said it I had no idea what they were talking about. I guess its not acceptable at the work place to have a conversation about cutting out early (although we all had already put in our 40 hours for the week) for happy hour. Either way we met up and had a drink and some good conversation. The nice piece about that is its not all about work. We touch on it here and there, but talk about our kids and families and just other general things. My boss is a world of knowledge and it never ceases to amaze me how much stuff he crams into his brain. At the end of our happy hour, which was only one hour because we all have young ones, they said that I was supposed to plan the after work get together for March. I will see what I can come up with and hopefully plan a day that everyone is able to go!
