Eric's description of what he plans on doing was encouraging to me.  I'd like to share what I hope I'll be able to do here. I have written before in these forums about the lack of training where I work. That they don't pay for anything, send anyone anywhere, etc. Well, after literally decades the state agency I work at has decided to try providing online training for us!! They've chosen Lynda for the training. They're allowing us to take up to 2 hours per week on training, work permitting. All I can say is, good for them!!! Really, kudos!!! Now, its up to my fellow workers and myself to make good on using this training. If we don't we'll loss it. I've taken the 2 hours per week and done some on the weekends, learning the fundamentals of some of the work I do. Filling in the gaps in my knowledge. My state employer has stepped up to the plate and delivered. Its ours to loose.
