First overseas assignment & Beanbear

edit: deleted reference to person

--Assignment

Some time ago, various colleagues from our regional subsidiaries were invited to our office for training on operational knowledge. I was tasked with teaching them ABAP - SAP's own programming language. It was meant as a trial so see how well things could go. Lacking info onthis and fearing that this is a matter of "face" for our big boss, I tried to accommodate all their requests for advanced programming topics. This placed a lot of stress on me as they are competent programmers in their own rights, with years of experience that rivaled mine. I was unabashed to show how glad I was when it was over.

Do a job well and get rewarded with another. That's the sad truth in this world. Now I got two problems:
#1, What the hell am I supposed to do?
#2, I'm still holding Lecture Notes that I do not have permission to use. Shit.

Where do we stay?
What do we pay with?
Where is their office?
How do we get to their office?
Who do we meet?
Do we get laptops?
Can we connect to their LANs?
What are we going to teach?
What's our trainees' background?
How experienced are they?

And the million dollar question is, "Who is organising all these?".

--BeanBear

Beanbear (aka Shijie) came online to check on how I was coping. Since she never listens to me, she flipped through her notes to try to help me with something I was stuck with.
Gee.. I wonder why she brought her notes home..
Ty for the thought =)
