Jun. 13th, 2013 06:50 amI am off to training this morning. Hooray for professional development.
I'm spending all day at a workshop on basic research skills, which hopefully will up my cred at work in terms of "Yes he really does want to be a researcher". It may need a bit of that lately. In terms of my professional life, 2013 has been a bit of a wash so far.
I'm guessing, like usual, the workshop will be a combination of "Things I already knew" and "Things that are far beyond my current skill level". There doesn't seem to be much middle ground with me. I begin to wonder how the hell I learned anything in school. Maybe I'm getting dumber. :D In some ways that would be a relief, though I don't actually wish for it. Still, there's no denying if I'd used more points on charisma and less on intelligence I might be happier in life.
But I do get to see my colleagues present on a project they've been working on, so that'll be nice, and they feed us lunch. Five bucks says the lunch options are grilled chicken sandwiches, deli chicken sandwiches, and vegetarian...
