Titled: "Just in case you were short this week..." A forward from Finance: "Armed Hold up training" And it's just the start of my Monday. Promising.
Dave: But I don't wanna be a barbarian! Fang: You did when you were ten! Dave: Yes, but I thought it meant a librarian that also cuts hair.
Short course. :) Just show this video[^].
Henry Minute Do not read medical books! You could die of a misprint. - Mark Twain Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.”

"Video not available" :((
Lucky, actually, otherwise it would qualify for being a repost. And I can't link you to the video for fear of being reposted. sigh.

It's Finances way of sucking up their training budget - they have too many dollars in their training budget and don't want it reduced next FY. Even if someone does the course and is from another branch etc, Finance pays for it. And hey, I'm a good shot, pistols, rifles, and rubber bands - although not a fully-fledged developer so you might have a point. Cheers.

Now you're giving Chris ideas - next we know, somebody from the CP staff will be complaining about having to undergo "What to do when you're invaded by a horde of rabid meerkats" training. :)
Cheers, विक्रम (Got my troika of CCCs!) After all is said and done, much is said and little is done.

You should totally learn to give massages. I'm sure any effort you could provide to release tension from your (attractive) coworkers would be much appreciated. ;)

Armed Hold up training
What loony came up with that idea? Doesn't he know that developers would be useless at doing armed hold-ups? Hell, CP's resident gun expert can't hit a double-decker bus from inside it; what chance do you think the rest of us have?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
Well, you obviously need the course. The point of a hold up is not to hit anything, at least not in the first place. Your primary job is to look dangerous enough, so that whoever you are holding up complies with everything you demand of him. Shooting only is needed when you don't look dangerous enough.
A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

I see your point. Seems like my knowledge in the field is lacking and I do need training.

Where I come from, this is fortunately not considered to be a bad thing :) As to the shooting, well some developers live in countries where military service is mandatory and definitely know where the dangerous ends of some ugly devices are.

It only counts as a repost, if it is a new thread. :) In any event you can, I understand, override the newpost attribute by using the News Icon. :)
