I presented a 45-minute security training presentation to my company of 35 people. Boring, right? I practiced for almost a year, though I'm not afraid to speak in front of a group, I wanted it right.

Management brought in good food and had everyone attend. We all but shut down for this. Did I mention I'm not afraid? I was scared shitless.

I left 15-minutes for questions and we ran into 30. Everyone was engaged! One of the wildest things I've pulled off in my IT career.

Maybe I should update and make a living offering my little class. Hmmm...

I worked for a tech giant that is a homonym of Sysco. The mandatory security training videos were I shit you not animated cartoon animals. I would be deeply concerned about security flaws in their products, except that I never encountered anyone there that had anything whatsoever to do with their actual products, nor did I encounter anyone who themselves had ever encountered anyone that had anything whatsoever to do with their actual products. This abstraction from the product line was actually a common topic of conversation there among the employees.
