What's on your mind today?

[Biggus Dickus]

I have a few online job training courses due today and I don't want to do them. They're so boring.

Boring doesn't encapsulate how I feel about job-related, Online Training. I've had to take numerous courses the last couple months for both Ford and FCA (Chrysler) here at work...some of these courses are 8-15 hours long.
What I hate is that they force you to be interactive with the most mundane shit...like how to scroll down a screen to see additional data currently out of view.

Co-Worker next to me laughs at my antics sometimes because I just can't believe how mundane the training can be...and your not allowed to skip ahead or they deduct points from your final score.

I have to begin another one this week....fucking hate it. (Don't mind the learning, even the time, just can't stomach the mundane crap...fuck)

I had been volunteered to take some training courses on Accessibility for web sites. Two days at 9 hours a day, but they started 3 hours after I get to work, so I had to stay late 3 hours for those two days. I had already read and put into practice all of the accessibility stuff when I helped to fix the website a few months prior. So it was super boring to go over stuff that I had already researched intensely.

I had to do a safeguarding course once and got so fed up struggling with  the online version that I chose to use a precious half a day of the half-term holiday to go on a course given by a human being, The coffee was good and a certificate was awarded just for attending.

Hearing about all these experiences makes me very happy that I was never subjected to any online training courses when I was working full-time.

I'll have an online training course in April, about IT-security and I'm not looking forward to that one either.

Did you know that in Italy one should never cut their spaghetti? I think I would have some serious problems with Italian table etiquette, I couldn't properly twirl spaghetti on my fork to save my life.

It gives them the opportunity to point and laugh at strangers.

The drill is to use a spoon in conjunction with a fork Silver.  You can twirl the pasta rather neatly that way...... I will wager that you already knew that.

I've tried -- no matter how few strands I start out with, I end up with way too much spaghetti on my fork.  Cutting it is.

You would lose that wager, Icarus! I'll give that a try next time, hopefully with pasta that isn't swimming in sauce, that stuff gets thrown everywhere.

I lived in Italy for 3 years, so twirling spaghetti is second nature to me.  Chopsticks, however, are a different matter.

When I was a kid, my Dad used to take us to a Japanese restaurant where you ate with chopsticks or you didn't eat.  I find chopsticks surprisingly easy to use.  Still can't twirl spaghetti.

When I was in the RAF we used to est at a Chniese resturant in Gloucester where we had "pea rsces". This entailed earing a weighed number of peas, one at a time, from a small bowl, on a large plate, with chopsticks. The Chinese, being keen gamblers, would do their best to endure we all got the same number of peas. Then put money on us.

If the manager's choice came first that person got his meal free.

But both Chinese and sphagetti esting styles are just not good Western manners. With the former you choose your selection of goodies from all the fishes into your little bowl. You then lift that bowl to your mouth and use the sticks to "shovel" its contents in. With sphag be prepared to lean out over the plate or bowl and bite off any dangling bits from your spoon/fork load, letting them fall back. But it helps to ensure the sphag is as "untangled" as possible before twiddling, then you can select just three or four noodles to wind up nestly.

I have an "engineers" approach to eating, study-analyse-consider-solve!

Just so long as you don't disrespect our Noodly Master the FSM.

Oh no, when I try to twirl spaghetti I do it with reverence and utmost respect.
