Where In The World Is Sum1?

Still home in Chicago

         Well, as happens sometimes, there's a lull in my travel.  Most say that's a good thing, but for me, I miss it.  There just aren't any classes upcoming that I'm qualified to deliver.  There are classes available this in August and September, but I was already scheduled for other things, so I wouldn't be put on those.  It's the upcoming classes in the 4^th quarter that are affecting my schedule.  So I've been home here for almost a month <gasp!>, and will be for another six week it seems.  There is a nice silver lining to that 'cloud' though.  Remember those classes I'm not qualified to deliver?  Being home gives me the chance to work on those.  I've been delivering classes here in Schaumburg, so it's not like I'm idle.  But when I'm not delivering, I'm sitting in classes, studying, and working on the 'hands on' portions of the classes so I can learn them too.  There's really just 6 more classes I need to qualify, and I'll be able to teach every class we deliver.  However, two of those are not taught all that often, and are not in the average instructors qualification path.  So, four more, and I'll be done.  Well, I'll never be done, lol, but I'll be where I want to be.  So until mid October, when I go to San Diego for a few days, I'll be home.
