Today was the last day of class, and it was interesting.

I realize that I found yesterday boring because we did no creative thinking. We did only listening, and things that applied directly to our jobs. How dull is that?

Today we did exercises like "break into a team and brainstorm zany ways to improve a car (laser guided missle, in car pooper scooper, hemp seats, no carbon footprint)", improve the passenger experience on a flight (kids in a special section, no kids, better snacks, better movies, wireless net access and, ahem, Strippers On A Plane)....those kind of exercises. And then in the second half of the day we broke back into teams and did one of those: you've crashed, your pilot has died, no one knows you are missing (yet)...what do you do with these items? What is your plan? That was fun. It's nice to know I wouldn't die...well, not fast anyway. It was funny to see people's scores. Some people thought it would be a really good idea to have the Celestial Navigation book...in northernmost parts of Canada. Are you walking at night in the lake country? It's only good as toilet paper. What else was funny....yeah...everyone wanted the rum to drink, and not as a disinfectant or accellerant. And no one knew what to do with the tire...although I said it would make an excellent smoke signal (which was one of the right answers)....and no one got that you could cut it up to make a slingshot? WTF?

Anyway, I'm glad it is done. The timing of the class was perfect. I realize I was two seconds away from going postal at work, stress wise.

Happy Weekend!
