Learn & Play @ CML

Well, I really didn't mean my last post to be a 'poor-me' type of thing, but it has been a difficult year. Our staff are involved in a Learn and Play exercise and it has been a lot of fun watching them and working with them. The purpose is to familiarize our staff with the different types of online technology: blogging, twitter, Flickr, mashups, etc. that our customers are using. There's a lot of collaboration going on in the staff work room, and some of us are staying only about half a step ahead. But there have been plenty of Eureka moments when the last little command has been figured out. Lots of people feeling really proud of themselves, too. While the instructions have said that each portion should take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, I'm afraid that may have stretched. But they're still getting their daily work done, and the customers are going in and out, and don't even seem to notice that there's a new project making the staff buzz.
