GRRR . . .

I'm a bit irritated today. We just closed out our spring training and I don't feel like any training was done. For those of you that don't know I'm residence hall director and typically I help train my staff and the staffs of four other residence halls on campus. However we recently got a new Director of Housing who decided that he wanted to do training all by himself (and I do mean all by himself) but yet all he did was get up and give motivational speeches for like 4 hours on one day and the rest of the time we haven't done anything except cook dinner for one another. Now of course I teach my staff how to do the right things but that's not what training is about. Training is about learning together as one big team not listening to a motivational speech about challenging our beliefs. Some of it was great and could be worked into real training but overall noone learned anything and all my girls are pissed because they gave up a whole week of Christmas break for this.

Anyway I just needed to vent this has been frustrating me all week long. The problem is I'm not sure how to tell my boss that training sucked without saying hey your training sucked. I'm probably going to send him some corny e-mail offering my suggestions for improvements but it's going to end up screaming that I hated training (which I did0.

Blah gotta go get my day going hope everyone has a wonderful day.
