The seminar was held in a really smart hotel. I did wonder how much my company was having to pay for me to attend. I hope they think it was worth sending me along. I tried to take lots of notes just in case my manager asked me to write a report about it afterwards. I must admit, though, I didn't write much because although the speaker was highly entertaining, I couldn't exactly say I learnt anything new. Shame, really.

Well, what we covered was all really important stuff, some of which was mainly common sense. And I'll certainly be trying out the ideas I picked up. The trouble was, I know the speaker's someone quite well known- he's even had a book in the best-seller list- but his style wasn't exactly entertaining. I noticed that a few of the other participants looked rather fed up, too. I was just glad that it was only a half-day event.
