Thanks. I spoke with my team leader, who actually went to the boss and they decided to have me do some more short and/or basic training.
I was concerned in no small part because it was nearly 4K of tax money…… and it could have been wasted. Not totally, I know I’d have learned, but what value for the money?
And for me, who can’t sit in a chair for more than 60 minutes, or get through a 9 hour work day, how would a 10 hour intense rapid-fire training do if I wasn’t quite up to snuff?
I explained to my team leader than I really DID want further education. Face it, in IT you either keep up or might as well leave. And it’s stuff I WANT to do, but I need to be realistic on 2 fronts – my current level of skill and experience, and ADD complicating things.
A shorter course, say 2 or 3 days, 6 or 7 hours, yeah……..
I honestly DO want to further my skills and education and some of this virtual world is exciting – especially when you find you need more space on a server, and adding that space is only 6 mouse clicks away, no screwdrivers required!
