... was the fictional mascot of a computer engineering training company offering webinars, training videos and contact training via social media. Mostly it was webinars. Kim was a fan. Mcwcam, the head instructor, The Mad Coder himself, believed in presenting a virtual class in the model of a magically enhanced traditional class. Therefore during a live lecture you could "raise your hand" to interrupt and ask questions, and at the end of class you could "approach the lectern" and ask the professor questions. After questions, you could engage the lecturer "on the way to their office" in conversations and in depth questions.
Kim was a regular for the entire chain of events. She eagerly took notes during lecture. She wanted to raise her hand more... but occasionally she had courage and tried to ask questions that were not annoying, unsure if she had ever succeeded. She usually waited to ask her question last, leading into the "on the way to the office" finale. This was a more casual time, it was easier to interject and not feel as if one was annoying or speaking or asking too much. And sometimes she had The Mad Coder all to herself. She also attended office hour but this was no where as open as "on the way to office". A lot of desperate people, afraid of failing the training came with panicked questions they were indeed right to think crucial. Office hours had been crucial to her understanding assignments, but it was all business, it was "on the way to the office" section she really enjoyed. And today, it was just her and The Mad Coder after the students with post-lecture questions had filed through.
