[nagdu] Downtime in class

[Tonia]

Tracy, thanks for your suggestion.  I have actually done just that.  The
company is aware of my training dates and realizes that I may or may not get
much accessibility testing done while I'm in training.  Thankfully, they are
very understanding and generally let me work at my own pace; since they know
I also work full time and have an eBay business with my husband.  I'm very
blessed in that respect.
As for eBay while I'm at school, I'll mainly just be helping my husband
relist items and/or print shipping labels; much of which I can do via the
eBay app on my iPhone.  So, that shouldn't be a big deal either.

My number one priority will no doubt be bonding and training with my new
dog.  I'm sure I'll be spending most of my down time relaxing with and
loving on him/her.

Only nine days to go.  I can't hardly wait!!!

Hope everyone is Having  a great weekend,

Tonia

Hi Tonia.
You mentioned you plan to do some contract work during your downtime in
class.  I just want to give you a word of caution.  If you take some work,
don't make any promises as to when it will be done, or tripple the time you
think it will take.  Even when I wasn't busy with actual training, there
were lectures to study, grooming, play, and just plain resting.  I got my
first dog more than 30 years ago, when I was a lot younger.  I don't
remember how much I needed to just plain rest my brain then, but I
definitely do now.
Also, if you bring work, be ready to drop it at a second's notice.  It's
easy to get involved with something on the computer, and, when you finally
surface, your new puppy has torn his blanket to little bits, or pulled the
blanket off your bed, or any number of other puppy tricks.
I like to play computer games, but I don't think I'll play any during class.
It's too easy to zone out and miss something I should be noticing.
Tracy
