somethingnewIn my job I'm often called upon to teach classes on different things. Today was one of those days. Today also marked a passing, or sorts. My former boss was promoted to a new position as a part of our reorganization. And as a result he no longer had time to be the guru for one of our databases. That got passed on to me.
Which meant that today I got to teach the intensive everything-you-need-to-know class for this particular database. I've taught it before, but usually as a part of a larger class, where only a portion of our time was spent on this database. Never a full 50-minute class dedicated to the ends and outs of this particular one. Never in the capacity of the guru for that particular one.
It went well, only two people didn't show up for the class and there weren't any awful questions I couldn't answer. Which means that next time won't be quite as scary. (Though that likely means next time I won't have an excuse to get sushi...)
