[techtalk] simple question on technical training

[Kelly McQuarrie]

Hello:

My company has a general rule that we get two classes a year.  They send
us to more sometimes if something comes up and they need us to learn
something new.  That's just within my business unit and it's not an
actually policy or anything.
