Yesterday we had a customer coming out for a one day training session on Qualtrax, this is generally a two day course and is usually given by our Training Coordinator Patsy Clark. Patsy is currently out on vacation so it was up to me to train this person. Although I know the product inside and out I have never given a training session before. Well on my way in to work I got caught up in a mess of traffic on the 460 (Orange Ave.) in Roanoke that was all caused by a small mudslide. VDOT closed one lane which forced traffic to back up for miles. I ended up showing up 45 minutes later than I had planned on, which was only a few minutes later than the customers arrival. Luckily Vicky came to the rescue and started the training session on time in my absence. Thanks Vicky! :) To make matters worse as soon as Vicky left the room and I took over the training, the wireless router we use to connect each of the training computers suddenly stopped working and I had to get our IT Guru Kevin to come fix it. It turned out the power cord broke, but we did have a spare that we were able to use instead. After all this we finally got back into the training and the session seemed to go very well.
