In Your Own Words

This is a little out of date, but I just remembered what I wanted to say about this title. You wait forever for the right setup, and when it comes, you have to bite your tongue. A few days ago, someone asked me to explain something in my own words. It was the perfect setup you only get once or twice. (In case you don't know what I'm talking about, the appropriate response to being asked to explain something in your own words is "ckjhdk slifhoie ifhe" - words you invent yourself.) It was a work situation, though, and it wasn't appropriate. I almost had another chance today, but the timing was a little off. I might have been able to force it, but it's not the same. I was handed an opportunity on a silver platter and had to let it pass. It's going to bother me for a while.

Today was more training, this time Customer Service. I needed this because I didn't work in customer service for 4 years. There was nothing new, but it was better than a day reading old briefings. The annoying guy was back, and there were more interns. 16 of us total, I think. Maybe 6 engineers, and the rest all over the place. They also had a brainstorming session about how to improve the program. I sat in on that, just to find out things. It's about what I figured. Nothing I want to talk about here and now, though.
