Day 17, time for some weekend R&R

Three days of MikroTik classes is a lot of fun to teach, but is also a lot of work. If you have never taught a class, you may not agree with that but standing (ok, sometimes I sit too) all day, preparation the night before and talking for 8-10 hours in a stretch can wear you down, not to mention preparing for the "tough questions". While the class was testing I was thinking about how similar people are. Yes, that's a general statement, but if you look at a cross section of people you will see patterns of behavior and personality that repeat themselves from group to group. In my classes for instance, there is always one person who has been using MikroTik longer thank anyone else in the room and already knows a lot about the product. I am not ashamed to say I often learn something from them, after all who knows it all. This person is also the one that will ask the really tough questions and makes my brain hurt. Then there is the talker, the guy that has a lot to say and is typically the one I spend the most time in class interacting with. Then there's the sleeper. Am I really that boring or is he narcoleptic? All in all, our differences are what make us interesting and meeting new and interesting people is the best part of this job.

Ok, I promised strange sights from the road and I think the menu yesterday definitely made the list. Today I saw something a little funnier that reminded me of the eighteenth hole in a putt putt course, except in this case our motor home WAS the ball. Yes, we made it through without the windmill blades slashing us to pieces...
