If you recall, 2 years ago I went to this particular kind of training every month in another state. I learned about quality control, process improvement, statistics, stuff like that. Well, this training has a certification program. To get certified, I need to complete 2 projects. I did 1 at my previous job, and was trying to do another at my new job. The problem is that this is no longer part of my job description. So I kinda dropped the idea of getting certified since the project I was working on wasn't moving.
Well, my instructor called me yesterday to see if I still want to get certified. I'd like to, just to have it on my resume, but I don't want to do the work. It's boring and difficult because you have to get other people to do things, and I'm not really in charge of these process improvement projects. He said I have until the end of February. So I am grudgingly going to revisit this possibility with my manager. Maybe there's another project I could do. I don't know. It's boring stuff. But it's kinda like getting a diploma. After all that suffering in training, getting this certificate means a lot of things in several job industries. I'm over halfway done, though. Blah...
