Hurry up...

... and wait.

Yesterday, I was travelling home after a week of training and this image summed up the whole experience. Air travel during winter in the Midwest just seems to be a lot of waiting. Even on the plane, it's mostly just waiting to get back off.

Similarly, we often receive training when it's convenient to be trained, not when you're likely to get to apply what you've just learned. We learned a lot of interesting concepts and a fairly complicated tool to help implement those ideas. The question now is when will we use what parts of it.

Sorry there aren't any better pictures or tales to be told. It was just classroom, cafeteria, hotel, and a couple of restaurants.
