[Background] Members from regional subsidiaries were to come to our country for training. Two of us were to train them in ABAP; Another 4 of us will give training on functional knowledge. Work kept me busy and I didn't have time to prepare notes nor exercises. I am to teach the more advanced parts.

The first day we measured each other. I don't know what they make of me but I found their skill levels to be higher than I expected. A class of 8, decently smart, all technically inclined. My advantage? My wider exposure and my and longer years of experience in the field. Not by a lot, it will have to do.
On the second day, we moved to the challenge of Dialog Programming. My lack of preparation caught up with me as I found myself struggling to give them an effective demonstration. As the list of questions grew, I promised to answer them the next day. That night, I rushed out 2 example programs and had to drop the request on a Remote Function Call demo.
A slow-motion JW moved through a hectic third day. My class appeared happy with the extended lessons on Dialog Programming and ALV. Technically, we were done by 3pm but they continued to refine their programs. They were a fun bunch, who wanted to enjoy their time in this country as best as they can. I said my good-byes at 5pm and went back to my work.
In exchange for all the stress from keeping ahead of them, my skills have went up. Yet I should learn where to take arrows. Somewhere fleshier and not near the heart.
