Learning

I spent a good portion of this week in a class for work.  Though the class was fairly rudimentary, I learned a little bit and met some very intelligent people that will be useful to know for future work projects.  I don’t think I’ll be recommending this class to other people at work though.  It turns out we already teach most of it in our own initial training class.

Other than all the new airline miles I’ve accrued, this week was fairly basic.  I’m headed out for the week to attend two graduation ceremonies.  I’ll be able to see family and friends that I haven’t seen in quite some time and have some good laughs with them.  I went to a half-price book store one day when we got out of class early and bought a bunch of books.  I haven’t purchased a physical book since I bought my Kindle but the price for these was way less than even the digital Kindle version was online.  It felt kind of funny to read through a paper book that wasn’t a manual of some sort. We’re always reading paper at work, but books have just come to be Kindle material for me.  I’m sure I’ll be able to adapt, it’s just interesting how quickly you can become accustomed to reading on an
e-ink display.

If anyone is thinking about getting a Kindle and is unsure about it, just buy one.  It has really changed the way I read and I now read a lot more than I did when I would have to order a book online or go to a store and stand in line to purchase it.  Embrace technology.
