Mindless Juices

So, I signed up to do an NCTI course through the company. NCTI is the National Cable School. When you have certifications through them, you can take them to any cable system in the country and, basically, they'll know that you know what you're doing... or, at the very least, can be taught how they do things. So, I signed up for this class in July 2005. You have a year to complete it. I had to pay for an extension because I procrastinated, then the summer hit (our busy time) and then I completely lost the focus in my life for a while. The saddest part is that I completed the rest of the book in one weekend. I cranked through at about 15 minutes per chapter. I flew through the course and completed all of the lesson exams online. Now, I just need to complete the final exam, but that is administered. So, I just talked to my trainer and I'll be taking that on Friday. Hopefully, that means that I'll start filling out the paperwork on the next course some time next week. This time, I won't procrastinate. The next few courses is stuff I already know (from on-the-job training). I'm sure I'll learn a thing or two, but I should be able to work through them easier. This first course I took was hard because I had to remember the difference between the two heads of a wrench and which way it's supposed to face when using it. I guarantee their are engineers, mechanics, and various other tradesman who build our homes, cars, seats, etc. who have NO IDEA!!! For both of you who read my blog, it's looking like things are slowing down a bit at work. Hopefully, that means I'll have a few extra minutes that I can sneak in a post.
