Training Humour

When I was at offshore, I used to conduct lot of training sessions...monthly atleast 4,5 trainings....mainframe related stuff...mostly to freshers.....most of the time training will be for the whole day....CTS le ELT's kellaam St.Joseph college le training nadakum....it will be a welcome break for me from the daily routine....There are so many advantages when we conduct trainings....first it will give an opportunity to brush up ur skills, second you will get the money and also you will get a chance to meet and know different people....Students just out of college appadingradhaale we feel the college atmosphere. Some will listen, some will day dream, some will talk, some will sleep etc.

Neraiya funny incidents irukku...To name a few, once i was teaching about mainframe screens, how to navigate etc. I told them in our project we used to type F1 for file browse, F2 for file edit and F33 for copying. One girl asked very innocently F1 is in the keyboard, F2 is also in the keyboard, where is F33??? hahahah....I was not able to control the laughter and somehow managed and said you have to type F and then type 3 twice.....then the whole class burst into laughter......Second incident was very embarrasing for me.....I was conducting IDMS training..some dry concept....most of them were sleeping...so asked them to go for a break....most of them left...only a few people remained in the class and they were checking mails. I too thot of checking my mail and without realizing the projector is on.....I opened a forward, I dont remember what was the forward all about, but at the end was a huge chimpanzee and it was written in red bold letters that "YOU ARE A CHIMPANZEE". When I closed the mail and turned, everyone in the class was looking at me with a mischievious smile. That time only i realized that i didnt switch off the projector...:-)) how stupid ille? Anyway really miss those trainings after coming here.....Hope to have such trainings when i goto offshore....

You might get to take trainings in the future, but maybe not to a "fresh out of college" audience. The reason might be you have a greater experience than before and so people at work might feel they are not the right audience for you anymore. I feel moments like those you have described never come back in your life. They just stay on as a memory. We'll have to treasure such memories and then move on ... Very rarely do these moments repeat themselves.

Hey Gils... even though we had some stressful moments during our T1 Training... don't you agree that it was all the more enjoyable at the same time?

The way that we used to kutthu adi...
the cross-word puzzle solving is something I at least will never forget...

The ragging sessions... especially the pongali-bengali one... ;-D It was good... and we DID make some awesome friends didn't we!
