9 to 5 - The people you meet...

Attending training courses can be fascinating - not necessarily for what you learn, but who you meet.

Often, to start us off, the trainer will ask everyone to introduce themselves by name, say where they work and then share something interesting about themselves that no-one is likely to know.

Here are some of the people I've met:

• A guy who composed music for TV shows


• A guy whose baby had been in major Hollywood movies


• An ex-college football player who had been in a team when they won the national championship


• A woman who spent an evening with a major rock icon at his local pub


• A woman who spoke at the UN


• A guy who was in a metal band in the 80s

Strange the people who end up in the corporate cube farm.
