Happy to say, I’m feeling a touch more centered now. Some unwinding time, a cold beer, some comment spamming in friend’s LJ’s… :)
I think the combination of the 5 AM freakout wakeup + general nerves about training = one seriously flipped out chicky chick…
Thing is - I like training. I like teaching people things. I like being able to share some tidbit of knowledge that no one knows yet. Boss even came over beforehand and reminded me, “They know NOTHING. You know EVERYTHING. You can make stuff up and they won’t know!” :)
But, before today, I seriously can’t remember ever having to do group training before. And I was flipped about it. And then everything breaking… Apparently folks even told the boss that a) it was all understandable even without the software available and b) I recovered from the repeated breakage of software quite well.
Come August, I have to train on two more modules. I think that will go much easier. I now have a workaround if everything is broken (oh how I WISH I had known that this morning!) There is also a good chance I’ll be rewriting the docs at some point or another, because I know I can do better than what we’ve got.
OH - and in the spirit of the pinball machine that is my brain today - the peonies are just starting to bloom here!!! I am betting they’ll be totally open by the weekend. And they’re gonna be GORGEOUS. I have GOT to get photos of them.
