That's all I can say about that right now.
Good Luck! Hope it works out for you.

Apparently she's slept through everything we've done today. If spending 30 minutes discussing one field on one form isn't in-depth, I don't know what is. This was her response to my announcement that now after we've done this about 10 times as a group, they're going to break up a list of positions, each take a piece of the list, and work in pairs to enter the data into the system as practice and to learn how to do it.

I guess me saying, "Today is the day we transition from system build to training and testing," this morning was totally missed.
I had a somewhat similar experience today. I spent almost two hours training a guy one-on-one. At the end he looked at me and said, "This is a really nice product, I'm definitely going to recommend the firm go with this". Um, dude, your firm already signed a multi-million dollar contract with us. Apparently, this guy is a real pain in the a$$ and the branch manager felt the only way he could be trained was to trick him into thinking he was evaluting our product for the firm.
