inTeR-ACTION


darkness descends

i spent the previous week at a “training session”. it was about computers.

*digression*

what im trying to say is, ive always been intrinsically interested in human behaviour. cause and effect. relationships. ive watched. listened. learned. all that i could.

so, being in a closed off environment with 50 strangers and around 10 instructors, for nigh on 18 hours per day for 5 days – FUN.

i enjoyed the training. but for all the wrong reasons.

the goal was getting more knowledge so the corporates can charge out its minions, nay the peons, at higher rates, based on training provided. instead, the best parts were the interactions with each other. the meals. the getting to know people.

and, seriously, isnt that what life is truly about?

there was much fun and games. late night confessions. early morning grogginess. preening. posing. faking. meeting many representatives. :) as we all know, you never meet the true person when meeting someone -- you meet their representative. you get to know the true person only much later..

i may have mentioned, the best part of my job, is the training. but not the actually training part of it. [coz thats yawn-inducing] its what happens behind the scenes. the afterwards. the interaction.

huzzah for training!

I've never had that sort of training experience. One time my boss said I had training coming up, but really I just had to put a bunch of the office furniture together.
