    How to retain your sanity at a Multi Day Training Boot Camp

    Going to one next week. Oh what Joy
    Survival Suggestions thus –
    1. The “Guess how many mint imperials there are in each jar sat around the torture chamber” Game.
    2. The “How many colours can I create by mixing various quantities of the Orangey and Limey looking liquids” Game.
    3. The “What Saw Movie inspired torture device could I invent for use on the Speaker / Trainer if that were legal/could get away with” Game.
    4. The ”Gaze around your fellow torturees and guess who has, who hasn’t and who hasn’t but would” Game.
    5. The “What bodily pleasures I’m going to have to treat myself to after this 3 day bloody nightmare” Game.


    Other suggestions welcome.....

        I presume idle speculation on the sexual proclivities of the other course members is a given?

              Good man. You'll be fine then. Assuming it's not just you and one other bloke.

                Never, ever go to these things.

                Anytime I feel tempted by the perm side, these things are what bring me back from the edge.

                Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

                  I dunno 3 days of being paid for listening to some overpaid hipster bang on about concepts which are simply not practical or applicable in real life can be fun?

                    Until they make you do ice breaking exercises with other people.
