Friday.

So glad it's Friday.
Training course on a new piece of Software at work.
No hands on, Demo only with Death by PowerPoint.

Yes I nodded off at least once.
Same again next week.
Fiddlesticks

Death by PowerPoint.

Ouch!! That's one of the worst ways of dying!!

Seriously, why do people continue to make massive PowerPoint slide shows and then just read out loud what's on the slides?? Does anyone really think that is a good way of doing a presentation?? :curse!::freaked-out::at-wits-end:

they do they have to show huw much they've worked on it.
on the other hand if there are enough participants and you get a good place in the back you can have 1-2 hours of relaxing sleep

Don't forget I've done both Teaching and Training, so I understand how keeping attention is vital.
Sadly this 'trainer' doesn't understand vocal projection, elocution or even using humour to make a point.

The software itself looks as if it could be really useful, but we really need to 'play' with it to get the best out of it.

Ah well, I forsee a bottle of wine in my immediate future. Don't know what Fran's having!??????

DR, I feel your pain. I spent 20 years with quarterly updates and new "manual on...." training. Most of it delivered just as you said by some minion that didn't want to be there either.

I'm so glad I'm out of that life.

A few weeks ago, I went for some extended training on the new software I use for my business. The trainer had her laptop and projector. Small class, most of us with our laptops as well. We spent 4 hours with her explaining and showing us the "where & how" to any problems or questions we had.

That was a great class.

In my defence it was an Xmas present and it's great in coffee, the 18 year old glenfiddich and kraken spiced rum are for actual nips

I understand.
I was scheduled to be at work today, as I was expected to continue this course, but I've had to give in and stay off as I've had so little sleep it'd be unsafe for me to drive.
And an 80+ Mile round trip at the moment, yeah waaay too much risk the way I'm feeling.

When are you guys going to realise the only thing you should drink is water or beer.

OK so when you Aussies brew some beer let us know.
