Things today ran pretty smooth. Meaning it wasn't like my second job where I had fears of coming into my office on Monday. Monday was a day of fear back then. Thinking about that time just gives me the shivers. *Shudder*.

Stepping into my office on a bad day(previously), could range from a server is down (above medium alert) to a user got himself/herself locked out because of typing wrong passwords (very minor problem). Major problem is when someone hacked into the system or someone forged one of our products. Products? Yeah. Sales people talk. Even though the product is a cheque (or check for North American) we still calls it a product. So it would be a big thing if the product got forged. Anyway, back then things like that just cropped up on Monday because over the weekend, my Managing Director would receive news regarding our cheques (or checks) being rejected or accepted or any other thing that may have happened during the weekend.

Thank God that's over and now in my past.

Monday these days means coming into office. Open the front door if I'm early. Set my computer to connect to internet. Wait for my breakfast buddy (or he waits for me if he's early) and go and have breakfast. Come back from breakfast, start to do research. Then in between office hours could play a computer game (or two) and hope not to get caught and continue to do research till lunch and repeat till clock struck 5:30 or so.

If I do happen to have classes to train, then, it would just mean no breakfast and start to do training from the time I come in, lunch, continue till 5:00. Half an hour to pack and check e-mails and then off I go.

Not bad eh? I think so. Much better than my average Monday in my previous job description. Only thing is, research must be done in order to conduct training properly. That's the key to being a trainer. Keeping up-to-date is vital for a successful training. Knowing a trainers job, a trainer must continue to test the concepts that he/she is instructing. No point telling people how to fix a problem when the instructor isn't sure but only to say "theoreticaly can work". Proof-of-concept is the utmost important. Everything else is extra.

Besides that, nothing much to say. No funny remarks/line. This is Brian reporting. Over and out.
