I’m in a training class today through Thursday. It’s a class I’ve been wanting to take for a while and already had to back out of once, in June, when I was too busy. Three weeks ago when I found out I’d gotten into the class again, I thought I’d have plenty of time for it. But that was before I couldn’t get the neural net code working correctly, and the Mars people wanted another point design, and the uncrewed orbiter people decided that they wanted to have the next sim on August 3.
I’m too busy to go to this class. And I’m feeling sort of guilty because it’s not directly work-related (Intro to Photoshop). And yet I can’t drop the class entirely or I’ll be put down as a no-show, which would then make it harder for me to get into other training classes. So I’m going to be one of those “bad” employee-students, who goes to some parts of the class but not to all. C’est la vie.
