I’ve been to a training in Munich last week. To get there, I took an airplane, the airline was dba. My hotel was the NH München-Dornach. NH Hoteles seems to be a Spanish hotel company.

The training was about administering BEA’s WebLogic Server (WLS), a Java application server we use at work. Because I’m working with WLS since more than a year now, I thought it was a good idea to book the “advanced” course, rather than the entry-level course. And I was right — I could easily follow the training. We were five students, and in a group that small the trainer had a lot of time to answer questions and to go into more detail on selected topics.

Altho the training was very interesting, I’m glad that I’m back now, because one week of highly-concentrated learning can be quite tiring.

Friday I received a nice letter from one of our project leaders, thanking me for my great job (that his words!!! 😉 during the testing and verification phase of one of our projects. He also promised to send me some “surprise” as a reward for my performance.

Yesterday, I received an envelope from him, and inside the envelope was a gift voucher for a cinema ticket of my choice.

So I guess I have no excuses anymore for not going into the movies… Gotta ask what Mona would like to see… 🙂
