Training: Day 4

Early start today - there was a briefing at 7:30, so we were all in the office for 7:15. As it turned out, it wasn't really much of a meeting and only lasted about 15 mins, which was a bit of a shame.

The rest of the day was spent in our usual broom-cupboard (although we are scheduled to move up to a bigger room for next week). Another fairly easy day for me. Kip is starting to lag behind a bit, as he is torn between wanting to spend time making links with the tech-support team here and wanting to learn about the product. As tech support manager for europe, he's in quite a tricky position.

Lunch today was chinese. I ordered Garlic Chicken Strips with rice, thinking it sounded nice. When it came, it was just 6 small chicken drumsticks, and there wasn't much meat on them. And no rice! Not what I had hoped for. By the time 5pm came around I was getting very hungry. Luckily, we had a meeting after work to fix some of the tech support issues that have been left unfixed while Kip and Mark are over here, and pizzas were provided. I had a slice to keep me going. It was a good session, giving me a good insight into the sort of issues that tech support have to deal with and how they go about fixing them.

After all this, we got away about 7:30 and decided to head to the Italian restaurant close to the hotel. i had a salad and we all had much-needed beers. It had been a very long day .
