Our training day started on time – no mean feat, since the trainer had to set up a router with a bunch of notebook computers in the room given to us, and also fretted she did not have enough printed binders – but it all worked out in the end. At the end of the day at 5 pm, I decided to stick around a little before attempting to drive up to Walnut creek on Interstate 680. It paid off : traffic was moving nicely by the time I headed north.
