Mandatory training courses...

I am finishing up the annual mandatory Information Assurance course (v 10.0). Fellow DOD employees and contractors, you know what I'm talking about.

I have concluded that all my imaginary co-workers from the exercises are complete and utter morons.

That is all.

Mandatory training courses, pt 2

The new PII (Personally Identifying Information) course is a complete snooze-fest. Automated Flash show with voice-over speaking bureaucratese. I recommend it to anyone having trouble sleeping--just leave it playing in the background when you go to bed.

The annual Trafficking-In-Persons training... Oh, boy. It's mandatory, it has something of a trigger warning in front, but it's mandatory. It needs lots and lots of trigger warnings, because it is a trigger-fest from front to back. And it's MANDATORY. Complete with quizzes to make sure you actually viewed it. To make sure you actually know that the evil of slavery is alive and well and you better damn well not aid and abet it.

I hate doing that one every damn year.
