School holidays ended last week. So now I have been taking up to 1 hour driving to work (tuesday) and 1 hour travelling home from work (wednesday). So tiring especially since there were public transport problems as well.
Yesterday, I took the train to the city to an all-day workshop. Surprisingly both the trains and the roads were relatively clear, so both forms of transport worked well.
A bit like the Internet - excellent when working but society almost falls apart when there is either an accident or the Internet is down (or so my borrowers give me to understand)
The all day seminar was very invigorating - its amazing what a little bit of networking and new ideas does to the spirit. Its refreshing to hear information delivered by people who do not work for the product vendors. The pros and cons of various decisions are clearly enunciated. Several participants brought their iPAD's and iPhones to the meeting to take notes, but I stuck with good old pencil and notebook, as my typing is not that good whilst concentrating. And the notes from the meeting will be posted on the web.
But back to work again tomorrow - a full weekend of it. Here's hoping what I've learn't will be put into practice sometime soon, crossing fingers and hoping funding comes through for staff resources to maintain my skill level.
After all, we are the clever country, aren't we??
