I spent the past week conducting training sessions for the twenty or so newbies to the department. Initially, I was reluctant to conduct the training sessions, but they turned out pretty well. As it happens, mine have been the "fun sessions," as I've been told by some fo the participants, which always encouraging to hear. The best part for me has been seeing how these new guys interact with each other when I have them do group projects. It reveals so much about them and their working styles, and gives me a glimpse into how they will be to work with.
Between moments of frustration (not with the training - but with head office mishaps), it's been and incredibly turing week. I was glad to be able to take a break from it all and make a day trip out to Newport, RI today with Joho. Initially planned as a trip to listen to some timeshare spiel, then visiting the famed Newport Mansions, we skipped the mansion tours, and ended up having a great seafood lunch, then strolling around the shops, where we picked up some birthday gifts for friends and then some amber jewelry for Joho, as a belated birthday gift.
On our way home, we stopped at Newport Creamery's Awful Awful Ice Cream Stop for some peppermint stick ice cream. A perfect end to a fun day.
