Week 10;THE END

If I could choose only one word to describe "23 things", it would be frustration.

From the fact that there was a time frame in which it ALL must be completed to get CE hours, to lengtht of time it took to do each exercise, it was too compressed. Things that I had absolutely no interest in doing were required, and the things I would like to understand so that I could use were just another step to get through so I wouldn't get behind. I have no real understanding of any of the tools offered, and can't even remember the names of some of them.

Being asked to offer my personal information to the entire internet community by setting up accounts that I didn't want or will ever use was very disturbing. At the very least this is not a responsible request that any employer should be making of employees.

I don't feel that the committee used the lowest common denominator when setting the goals or divising the exercises. And somebody certainly failed to check the dictionary for the definition of 'bling'. As a reward, or incentive, a thermal mug or memory stick would be more fitting and certainly more useful.

If I had known in September what the course for the "23 things" would be like, I would have opted to ride the bus to Prairie and take classes there for 4 or 5 times.
