I know I feel this way sometimes!
Apr 09, 2014
This is off topic, but I had to share.
The blog that picked up this video talks about being the only "engineer" in a business meeting, and the character in the video is the "expert," but as an ID, I feel like I can identify with this guy too!
Can you create some really interactive simulations that can teach someone everything they need to know about everything in 20 minutes? Great, I'll need it next week.

Um, not sure what happened with the weird html before the link. I can't seem to fix it.
I can feel for this guy. Had a meeting like this last week. Thanks I needed the laugh todday as I was not laughing in the meeting when it was occuring.
Thanks Rebekah, I know that feeling. Thank you so much for sharing that I had a laugh. May send it to my next client who doesn't listen when I say no and then ask me in a different way to do the same thing.
@Nancy, that must have been what happened. I just deleted the original link and started over by copying and pasting from the address bar. Thanks!
You'll all appreciate this one too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wac3aGn5twc
Cringeworthy.
Ahhhh...makes you appreciate all the rational clients, doesn't it? Thanks for sharing, Rebekah and Holly. Very funny!
Why did I watch these before bed?! It's so true though! Holly - I cannot uncover my eyes. My anxiety level is about 15 on a scale of 10.
The last time I've felt this anxious was watching (not training and development related)The Office (US) Dinner Party episode...
I loved these videos. Just starting my day and it gave me a good chuckle!
Thanks for sharing the other video, I love it!
"...Oh and I have one other question....Can you draw one of the lines in the form of a kitten?"
LOL.
Yep - been there, (or at least a very similar place....)
I had an interesting situation once.
Client: We want you to build a course about our 'x' policy.
Me: Sure, can I read the policy?
Client: Oh, we don't have a policy on that.
What I hate is when I get labeled an expert in something just because I did a little bit of research and provided a correct answer. I usually start getting flooded with more questions on the subject which require immediate replies. When I reply "I don't know", they usually respond "Well you're the expert on this subject, you should know" SMH
