Today I have to go into the city for a computer course. It is a day I have been dreading for fear of being bored witless or just being witless, embarrassingly so !! We are changing software at work so I am supposedly getting the heads up early so I can train other staff. Heaven help both them and me. It will be a day of faking it as I fly by the seat of my pants, pretending I am au fait with the software jargon and pretending I know my way around a PC when my life revolves around my Mac. I may have to even look vaguely professional when really I would like to roll up in my jeans with my Starbucks. I have been in a panic all night that I will run late and be charging down Collins St, possibly still in a dressing gown, like a headless chook, hunting high and low for the right place. And then the thought of having to impart any knowledge gained, that is if that epiphany actually occurs, fills me with dread. Patient explanations have never been my strong point. So all round I am out of my comfort zone, up a creek without a paddle and like a fish out of water. All this just screamingly begs the question, what on earth was wrong with the old software ???
Make sure you let us know how you went - but I'm sure you'll do well, after all, this is your year of living technically!
