Things I Learned at Barton Creek...

I'm at Barton Creek for New Hire Seminar for a two week long training session. I've been here for 12 days now and this is what I learned...

-Two weeks is a long time.
-It is hard to remember 177 people's names, name tags are a necessity.
-I never knew chicken could be cooked so many different ways, but the Barton Creek Chefs have cooked them all!
-Playing Catch Phrase until 1am with 15 fellow trainees after a long day of training and a few drinks is the funniest thing.
-The next morning, training at 8am is not fun.
-Three cups of coffee is necessary to survive each day of training without falling asleep.
-Working at 9am on a Saturday after partying at 6th Street the night before is punishment.
-Accounting jokes are only funny to other accountants.
-Naps after training are better than naps after college class.
-Training is a lot like freshman year of college- including experiencing a getting the flu and having a roommate.
-The flu spreads faster than wild fire with 177 people who spend night and day with eachother.
-After 4.5 years of college and loving living on my own, but a month of living at home again, I'd like nothing more than to go home to Mom, Darrell and Bratwurst.

Surprisingly enough, I've learned very little about accounting and auditing. Training is a blast.
