OnBase training - Day 1

I survived. It was a loooooong day. Actually, it's not that bad, but the amount of information that the teacher throws at us is unimaginable. He has a good analogy for it: it's like drinking from a fire hose. Trust me. He wasn't exaggerating. The teacher is very nice though. Funny, knowledgeable, and willing and eager to answer any question you might have, which is great if you don't understand a concept. Hyland seems like a great company to work for. The median age must be like 30-35 and virtually every employee I saw today had a smile on his or her face. They have a meeting on Monday mornings were they have a recap of the week and where the company stands and they pick a deserving employee who gets to spin a "wheel of fortune" to win a prize (up to a $1,000 cash!) They also have a weekly barber shop (sometimes a masseuse...) and on site daycare. They even used to have a dry cleaning service where you can just drop off your clothes, they clean them for you, and you can pick them up at the end of the day. All deducted from your paycheck, so you don't even have to worry about the bill. How great is that?! The class, like I said, is a mountain of information thrown at you, and can get quite boring and dry at times. The worst part is that, because of the amount of information to teach, the guy can't slow down too much, which makes taking notes much harder. Thankfully, he said the test on Friday is open books, notes, everything we want, and whether you pass it or not doesn't even mean you won't pass the class. Phew!
