Yesterday, upon completing my itinerary of training, and binders full of information, for the new employees coming to work today:
Me: "Well, here's everything I have!"
Co-Worker: "My God, it's so..."
Me: "Utterly awesome?"
Co-Worker: "Extensive."
Boss: "What he really means to say is 'Thorough'."
Other Co-Worker, flipping through binders: "God, you really did of every single thing, didn't you?"
I really do think it's strange that I acquired so much information so gradually that I didn't even notice it.
I made PowerPoints, lists, note-taking outlines, copied maps of every school building in the district, gathered examples of different Macs, power cables, imaging drives, printers, projectors, phones, cables, accessories. I planned for everything, and in the end, I think it all turned out okay, even if it didn't go the way I imagined it would.
