AU 2008-Day Two

Well, I officially have a cold. I feel miserable! I have cold medicine that I'm taking, but I keep sneezing and blowing my nose. I'm sure I made a great impression on the two classes where I worked as a lab assistant.

This morning I attended an Unplugged session that was an opportunity to ask the AUGI Board anything. I tried to behave myself, but time was running out and I rushed some comments and concerns in at the end. There are a lot of changes that I fear may happen in AUGI and I'm a little overprotective of AUGI and always try to help them be the great user group that they are. If they really want to hear from members, they will make the email address more accessible to that members can contact them.

My Unplugged topic was scheduled immediately after the AUGI session. It was voted as one of the top sessions, but no one showed up at all. Oh well. I was there.

I was a lab assistant in a class on using Camtasia to create training videos. That was my first experience as a lab assistant. I think it's important to try all the job duties possible and see what things look like from different perspectives.

I had a back to back class where I was a lab assistant on Project Navigator. The instructor was good, but fast and there were only two of us there as lab assistants and we were constantly hopping to keep people caught up. I need a bonus on that one!

I do think these experiences will help me be a better presenter.

This evening I have a special meeting with the Product Manager of AutoCAD MEP on the beta program. It's at the same time as the AUGI Meeting and Beer Bust so I guess I'll miss my mug for the year.

I'll probably go to bed early with some night time cold medicine. Tomorrow is my class at the end of the day.
