San Diego - Day Nine

Today was so much fun! We all went to the simulation having no idea what it was, and when we got there the Staff Team were like "Morning AJ!", "Hi AJ!", and we were like "... what?"
Anyway, it turned out to be a sort of real-life simulation exercise where we had to use all the knowledge we'd got from the past sessions. We were given stuff to read and then we had to make decisions as a manager eg. what to do with an employee with an ethics problem, how to answer a complaint letter, how to cope with a harrassment problem. Then we had to make a phone call to "Gizmo Manufacturing" to get a recommendation for a seminar (I got a prize for this as I stopped her going on about irrelevant stuff ie gave her 'what for'!). Then I had to do an interview and Kevin was my guy who was being late. He came in like a complete retard it was so funny!
Then we graduated and got a class photo and books on management and stuff. then we went to Old Town for a really nice meal at a Latin-American restaurant. We came back anround 10 and did a Roundtable Review by the pool with string, connecting it to people we'd felt a certain bond with. Muslimah chose me cos we got on ace, and I chose a Staff Team member as she'd shown a particular fondness for my Britishness and made me feel really welcome.
I've now packed and just read Martin's diary in the style of a Bible - SO funny! I'm gonna join the others now will be back soon.
