Good day, bad day.
Got to work this morning and none of the prep-work that was to happen for my class while I was out, had. Turned out the person I'd asked to organize it, who'd agreed, was out Friday golfing - I'd asked the monitors be removed Friday afternoon since doing it sooner would inconvenience others, but I think maybe that didn't register? She'd tried to get it done Thursday and been told not to. And my projector wasn't there. The monitors were easily remedied, though, we had them out before the class started, and the projector was there not too long after I wished for it and before we got to any of the intensive show-it-stuff.
So far the training seems to be going okay, though you never really know 'til after, i guess. But that was 8-5 (with a break at noon for lunch, email, and projector setup - my lunch got real little attention, I suspect they did better). Then I worked on until 6 doing other things that had to be gotten done right then and came home after.
Meanwhile, I'm the secondary on-call person. The primary on-call person had forgotten he was on this week and has class tonight and tomorrow so asked me today if I can cover as primary until 10 tonight and 9 or 9:30 (I forget which) tomorrow. I said sure and it's not a problem, just a surprise, but it does mean I likely won't scene tonight or tomorrow. Not a big deal, I didn't have anything scheduled, at least.
On the other hand, on the drive home, I got to watch lightening and now it is raining and occasional lightning and thunder, very pretty. And since I am on-call, Scott has agreed to go to Target in a bit and get me my blueberry muffin bars. He is sweet!
And I should add, my coworkers are great, doing stuff to help out like with the monitors - M held the phone until after the test call came in so that I would not have to deal with it in my class, and I had not even thought of that or asked - I really appreciated that! And it's gorgeous out. I love the smell of a storm, the sound of one. And I think, I hope, I think I've gotten it right with the documentation and info for this training course and that I'm actually being helpful, not just dizzying. (The first half of today was concept overviews. Dizzying sort of comes with that piece. It gets better from here, I think.)
