Where In The World Is Sum1?

<sigh> Teaching From Home When I Should Be In LA

Teaching From Home

Locale: Bloomington, Illinois

Week of: 8/8/22

         Well, since I couldn't go to Los Angeles as scheduled, I'm teaching the class from home this week.  There wasn't much time for the customer to prepare for it, they were expecting me there last night.  But a retest for COVID was positive once again, even though I feel fine.  It was a good call though, evidently this customer is still checking everyone for COVID daily!

         So far so good though, but there is one small wrinkle to things.  They work 10 hour days Mon-Thurs, and no one mentioned that in all the prep-work emails.  So tomorrow and Wednesday we'll add an extra hour to the class, and Thursday we'll go until we're done.  Fine by me because due to the time difference, I'm teaching from 10 am to 6 pm CDT.  Getting done early Thursday will be nice, and having Friday free even nicer.  Plus, I will teach the same customer next week, but the class will be Fleetmapping.

         I've taught this class for over 21 years now, I feel like I can almost do it in my sleep, or with one arm tied behind my back.  Just as I get it fully in my mind (that actually happened long ago), I will edit the course with a thorough re-wwrite.  It needs it though.  I just have to find the time to do it, and decide what I want to delete from the course, what I want to add.  That's been my main problem all along, figuring out those two issues.  It's time I tackle it though.  Maybe over Christmas, we'll see what my priorities are then.

In Closing

         I am home next week, and as of now to teach Fleetmapping to this same customer.  After that, it's 2 weeks in Schaumburg (only 5 days total really), followed by a week in Buffalo during Labor Day week.  Then it's football season (yippee), and fall arrives soon after.  My schedule remains full to the gills through the end of the year and into next year.  I look for it to remain that way.  Til next time, be good to yourselves and those you love, and WRITE!
