1 thing I adore about Microsoft may be the “continued education” we give and support. The company offers a tuition reimbursement program for formal continued education (like an advanced degree), but for people like me (who succumb to stress-induced fits,
Cheap Office 2010, nightmares,
Windows 7 X64, and hives when presented with the thought of “real” school … coupled with the fact I could never balance education and a fulltime job … but that’s just me) …. Anyway, for people like me,
Microsoft Office Standard 2007, Microsoft also offers a plethora (oh, yes, I said plethora) of development classes … everything from technical classes (but where may be the beginners’ HTML class??) to interviewing classes (score!) to presentation classes to management classes. You can learn how to code in C#. You can learn how to most effectively prioritize your time. You can learn how to manage outside vendor relationships. You can learn how to use Excel pivot tables like a wizard. You can learn how to drive a project from inception to completion. There’s seriously a lot of options. I write all this, in part, to explain to you why I’m not blogging as of late. I have a lot of training going on right now … some are voluntary (like a PowerPoint presentation class that I’m actually looking forward to); some are mandatory for my job (like a two day legal training scheduled for next week … but hey, I always find legal stuff fun.) Anyway, long story longer, I’m spending a lot time in classes these days, and then once I’m done, I’m busy trying to get my “real” work completed … and living life. (Weezer show tonight! Woo-hoo,
Office Professional Plus 2007!) I’ve also got some trips coming up in the next few weeks (both for work and for fun),
Office Professional 2007, but I’ll try to post as often as I can … I just might not be around as much as usual. Hang in there with me! I promise I’m still here!! gretchen
