Lessons

The Duff has just returned from a finance course. He is mentally drained, yet curiously satisfied in having learnt and experienced much, from the course material and his coursemates as well. Life is good for him. He wonders when it'll start tumbling down. He has been on an upturn for quite a while now.

During the course, his usual ADD brain kept wandering away from the topics, or blacking out into oblivion, for as usual his cerebral cortex was lacking a few dozen hours of sleep recharge logging. If sleep came in a pill, he'd be popping them by the hour.

Financial terms and going-ons (goings-on?) had been a puzzle to him, but like a magic jigsaw that solves itself, some gaps in his company's structure has come to light. Group work was interesting for he interacted with colleagues (in a loose sense) from other countries. Friendliness and cooperation were the rules of the day, and effort prevailed to produce good work from some humble folks.

Accomodation was in a hotel, with very good service and facilities. The room was clean and comfortable. All in all a wonderful experience.

The Duff pumped V-power fuel into his chariot today. He has used 98 for his last tank and had noticed increased mileage. He has decided to continue with the test for an even higher grade of petrol. Of course, this all depends too on his method of usage. Hard acceleration and exorbitant speeds all could eat into the better mileage claims on the posters. Time will tell.

For now, share your truths. The Duff awaits you, for you are the Truths of the world.

Peace out.
