The little old man ........

Day four.

I did not present today. The presentation started from 1000H and lasted until 1430H. After each participant of the group finished their presentation, the instructors wasted no time throwing questions and grilling them. This is done with the best intention, most of us understand. They merely wanted us to learn, to apply the tools that they have taught us in presenting our findings on the exercise. But one instructor in particular, Keith Hutton, is less diplomatic then the others. His jabs can be quite hurtful to people who aren't used to his sarcastic way. He likes to quote the example of the "little old man". The "little old man" being the lazy man sitting on your right shoulder, telling you not to do things which you should.

Right after the grilling, more woes followed. We were told the 2nd part of the presentation were to commence tomorrow. We had to fine-tune or redo our slides.

This time, we stayed back until 2300H. When I hit my bed, it was already 0030H the next morning.

What a life.
