How do you deal with boring work related trainings?

krf336 · M Best Comment
I usually Zone out and try to subtly do work instead.. Either writing down solutions or ideas to problems... Or I just write stories to entertain myself...

if your writing this from the training now... I think you have found your solution!

ha ha.. Wish I could use this solution where I have to be in a few minutes...
No electronics allowed....
I might chew my arm off to get out.

@krf336: I would probably keep getting up to go to the restroom

ha ha... hadn't thought of that... but I managed to stay entertained by giving everyone that wouldn't shut up fun Nicknames..
"Tyranasauras Assface" stuff like that! lol

Just keep thinking about that free lunch...

Usually end up sitting in the back hoping people don't ask stupid questions to drag it out

I'm more of a smart ass than eye roller so mostly the muttering for me

I like to multi-task, so I do both

That's some talent. I'm pretty much a one trick pony

Oh boy !
Not so much a problem when it's more of a classroom day.
It's when they want you to get up and play 'Jelly and ice-cream' games ! As if this demonstrates your 'working together' capabilities !!!

I hate those "fun" exercises

If I really need the information I pay attention. If not, I tend to think about other things.

Anytime a "group exercise" comes up....suddenly leave to use the restroom.
SW-User

Just grin and bear it. Some times the bosses are paying you over time. To go to those trainings. It also helps if some one is their with you.

Imagine the trainer naked, but with the body of the opposite sex.

That and caffeine. Lots of caffeine.

Try making one or two humorous comments.
Lisette · 31-35, F
That would require me to actually pay attention to what is being said

Ha ha. I was a wine shop manager for years and we had regular management meetings with our Area Manager. Some were really boring and we tried to liven things uo a bit.
