When I notice this, I know it is time to find something to stimulate and soothe the cells that are beginning to feel somewhat lacking. I started doing word games whenever I had a free moment, and, while this helped some, it wasn't really what I was looking for...
I read a couple books that I had not previously read, and, while that helped some, it wasn't really what I was looking for...
I have begun to get into a new hobby - tying flies for fly-fishing... And, while this is really gonna make me have to raise my own bar in fishing - I need to learn how to fly fish in order to use the flies I tie... I have to wait a bit before I can start this new venture... so, again, it didn't really catch what I was looking for...
Last week I decided that it was time to take another online class, or contemplate taking one in a local community college. I wasn't sure what path to head down, what I wanted to learn, but I figured I would find something...
While I was debating this, I took some time to read some of the blogs that I had been neglecting during my busy time... And, then, it hit me... I found what I was looking for... I found the answer to my quest...
I am soooo glad I did not miss the time to sign up for this course. And, while I wish I could go to the onsite course (what a beautiful place!), I do also know that, since I already work "as a remote tester on a busy project team", taking the course online will benefit me more...
To me, this is a wonderful opportunity to expand upon what I was already taught by Michael Bolton when he taught our test team the Rapid Software Testing course a few years back...
To me, this is a wonderful opportunity to engage with other testers who desire to build their own skills and learn, at least as much as I do. And... from all over the planet as well...
While I have already shared my exciting news with those less likely to be excited with me (my kids really just don't get it)... I thought I would share this exciting opportunity with you as well... In case you too have been so busy lately that you might have not gotten the word...
Did I mention that I'm soooo excited?!

Hello, that is great news! I am a consultant on IT and these days I am helping companies recruit software testers. I have realized that many of the people who interview testers are not qualified and thus wanted to check with you if you would be interested in assisting me in interviewing potential candidates (using Skype)...it will be exciting as well...a truly global effort
keep you chin up and be happy ..
