Quick trip & Busy week

Took a quick trip to QC last weekend. I was invited to be a guest speaker during the workshop and it was interesting to meet instructors from other units across Canada. Now they know of another resource if they have questions or need any help. At night I went out with them and found a couple nice resturaunts. Actually, they were outstanding places to great a great meal. The airline was delayed in both directions and on the way out they even lost my baggage for a day.

I got home last Monday morning around 1:30am and was more than tired when we got up for work. I arrived 5min late for work and started the week off running behind time. The other two instructors had conflicting appointments on Monday and I was running a workshop that day as well, so was not available to cover their course off. The timming sorted itself out just by the skin of it's teeth.

Normally we run one or two courses each week. This week was unusual due to Christmas parties for the units, so we ran one course early, the other classroom ran it's own during the normal time and a last minute course was run in the first classroom at the end of the week. So at one point between the two classrooms, we had six instructors on the go. A highly unusual situation.

Starting this weekend, many people take an extra week off for the Chirstmas holidays. So our plan was to not waist our vacation time this coming week. Instead, the plan is to get much of the equipment cleaned, files completed and other stuff that we do not normally have time to get done during our regular weekly routine.

The radio commented on the weirest part of this month so far, two of the local golf courses are still open in the middle of Decembre. Something to think up.

Enjoy!
