Whew! I don't get to write as often as I want to these days. Got a lot to say. And I have a short time to say them.
Today, I worked on a computer system all through. I was learning Microsoft Excel through the New Horizon's Learning Management System. A module which is part of the classroom training I'm undergoing at Elizade University. Did I just say Elizade University? Yes, I did. And as you might have guessed, I signed it. Didn't complain. Just signed it. And the period of the bond? Three years since last year. I didn't know of that part till the day we signed. and that was last week Saturday.
Let me get back to the MS Excel gist. I attended an interview last year at Schneider Electric. I told the interviewer I knew Excel 100% and then he asked me two questions, and I was wondering if that was part of Excel. It was Vlookup and Hlookup he asked of. You should know by now, that if the two functions were missing in my 100%, then I didn't know anything about MS Excel. Alright, lets just give me 10%.
It's been fun learning about the capabilities of the program, diving deeper each day. Tomorrow will be the last day though, for MS Excel I mean. I guess I'll have to call Mama F to say thank you.
Now the bond. It seems to be a big deal. Some of my colleagues refused to sign. I remember taking the job to know more and to cause a change in the energy sector. Naturally, I did sign. The only thought I didn't have an answer to was how I would do Lagos and Benin or anywhere I'm posted to after the training (This guy has got to see Kiitan).
The Vigeo Power Academy has been challenging so far. We've had experiences we wouldn't forget in a hurry. Boot Camp sessions with soldiers where we had to run over 5km, do killing drills, learn communication strategies and climb trees like monkeys using ropes that we held onto or else the
crocodiles would gladly eat us. And then the class sessions that wouldn't let you sleep normally. They shouldn't sleep more than 4 hours, Mr Dee reported at a time. Tests upon tests. I even practised putting out a fire for the first time. And Yes, there was play too....I played a game of Lawn tennis for the first time. Played football also after a very long while. Its been interesting.
