yup ITIL4 for me. 5 days of training (i thought we had it today too. why they didnt just book it for a solid week instead is another question id rather not persue)Jorge wrote:One of my big freelance projects last year was a 10-hour ITIL 4 video training course for Udemy. Fucking boring as hell. Good luck with all that value stream bullshit!Peeps wrote:Training for ITIL this week and next week. 6 days of 3.5 hour training per day. tried day 1 at home but the pooch was too big a distraction (or rather i have no impulse control and just wanted to play with him the whole time)
I wont say its boring but it definitely is a deeper dive into the things i know at work already (like explaining in depth the whys).

Got my ears succ'd at the GP. A little uncomfortable but totally worth it. Now I have super-human hearing + my tinnitus isn't nearly as bad as I had previously thought.
I think it's time for custom earplugs. Should've picked some up years ago!
