On the Train, In the Dark
March 21, 2006 | permalink

I traveled out to central Long Island this evening, in order to attend a three day training seminar for the Vantage lighting control system. It's part of what I have to know for my new job. I'm of two minds about it. the training seminar, that is...

On the one hand, I love to learn new things, especially things that smack of geekdom like low-voltage computer programmed touchscreen controlled dimming systems. On the other hand, I'm a little fearful over the fact that this is spread out over three full days. Either it's really complicated, (that would be awesome... see the first hand), which I doubt; or else the presentation has been dumbed down for even the biggest idiot, and is going to bore. me. to. tears. I'm not saying I'm a super genius or anything, but figuring out how things work is one of the things I am really good at. Honestly, I'd lay even money that I could figure out how the Vantage system worked on my own in three days. I guess we will just have to wait and see how it goes...

Other that that, what? I don't know. I'm bitchy, Gentle Readers, and I have been for a couple of days now. Well, bitchy's not quite the right word. Agitated, maybe. I've been having nightmares. I feel like something is close to the surface that I have been avoiding, and I'm not going to like it when it comes out.

I hate that feeling.

Cupcakes. No one can be bitchy around cupcakes.

Of course! Cupcakes... what was I thinking?
