3 weeks training

I've finished my 3 weeks training in ATOS Origin.

We were lodged at a hotel for three weeks and the training's been very thorough. We had a great first two weeks doing business simulations, soft skills, and rapport, which made is shockingly obvious about the importance of body language and presentation. The last week then got into a real project with system testing. I join the firm on my first project on Monday. Last week on the way, I had a pleasant visit at Gaz and Hanne's cool apartment!

If it wasn't clear to me before, I realise that I've joined a firm of professionals who never say die. In the UK alone, they do many projects and worldwide, they manage IT for the Olympic Games. Mainly, I'm happy it's not all geekery, which has some, but limited use! All this means, I'm on my toes all the time, and will be a lot slower replying to email! Sorry ;)
