[nagdu] Working during class

[PICKRELL, REBECCA M (TASC)]

	I tried and it did not go well. I didn't have the company directory at my fingertips and it is amazing how you think "I need to talk to Bill" only to realize that you don't know Bill's last name, you just know that he's Bill who sits downstairs and you don't know his last name and even if you did, there are like ten people with the same last name and he's listed as Fred in the directory but everybody calls him Bill. 
What this means is that doing tasks that I can normally do quickly took a lot longer. 
Also, I was exausted during training not so much from the walking, but the getting used toa new dog, the being with people I didn't know well, the routine of the school which was different from my home routine, stuff like that. 
Also, I was missing my husband and while we talked, I did worry about him, if he was eating okay, if he had clean clothes, basically how he was maanging with the tasks I normally do

Subject: [nagdu] Working during class

My boss asked me if I could work part-time while I was in class with Ben,
but I said no.  A friend of mine tried it, and he said it didn't work very
well.  He didn't have a lot of unspoken-for free time, and, when he did,
he was too tired to work very well.
One of my classmates, self-employed, did conduct some of his business
during class, occasionally requesting to go on an earlier or later trip so
he could make a conference call, but he didn't do it often.

I could see how working part-time could possibly be done at TSE, where one
can stay in the dorm when one is not on a trip, but even that is not a
large block of time. I think I could do it if I really had to, but I'd
rather not.

Anyone here try to work during class?
Tracy
