There were Executroids, and they were boring. I don't think I have EVER been to a class that started on time, in this case about 40 minutes late. That particular training room used to be chilly, but when they "fixed" the A/C, it went up to room temp---not cold, not overly warm, just sort of neutral "I'm going to fall asleep now" kind of temp. They were showing us vids, and I damn near nodded off.
They passed around clothes and stuff, boring stuff, most of them totally not worth their prices, IMO. There was the usual Q&A, boring. There was no food, no drinks, no candy, no loot---we didn't even get our own style booklets because they didn't bring enough. In short, I don't like them any better than I did before the training, as in, I don't like them. Period.
In even more uninspiring news, our CEO has posted that there's a wage freeze because of the economy. I would've been up for a raise next month; nice timing, tightwad. We had yet another potential partner come in to tour today...they're on a par with Trendicrap. In fact, Trendicrap has cited them as direct competition. If they come to us, this should be interesting!
Seven more days! When I get home from work next Thursday night, I'll have six consecutive days off in a row to look forward to, four of them with GK in town. (And on my first day back, I have LeSnobbi training. They're generous, I'm looking forward to that!) I hope the weather is nice---she's been freezing her ass of in Massachusetts all winter.
