Listening!

[ailbhe]

I spent about 10am to 4 pm doing a training session on Listening Skills. It was extremely tiring, and I found the taped assignment very stressful - it's a roleplay thing, where someone phones you up looking for breastfeeding support, and you have to support her. I find acting very stressful, and recording my own voice more stressful than phonecalls, which are pretty stressful, and also it's a necessary part of my qualification and one of my supervisors had to do hers five times before she passed so I might have to do it again.

So it was very very very good to do the training and very very very tiring. Training has always been more tiring than actually doing the job, whatever the job is, in my experience, so that's ok, really.

The specifics, as always with breastfeeding stuff, are confidential.

And someone who was driving to the station anyway gave me a lift back.
