Has anyone here taken the lean six sigma self guided class offered by simplilearn? I finished going through the 35 hours of content, took one of the exams and passed, and am now doing the project. The project setup makes very little sense to me. There aren't clear instructions as to what files/details are expected to be submitted. I'm not even sure if a real professor grades these projects. The problem statement file they provide explains that a hospital has too high of wait times, and basically just says that the only things I need to do are conduct root cause analysis, lower the wait time of a hospital to under 30 mins and increase customer satisfaction to 15%. That's it. The data set they provide just has random data that isn't properly explained at all. It's got a SIPOC thats already filled out, a completed root cause analysis form, and some data labeled before/after that shows customer wait time and satisfaction with no clear indication as to what the before/after was. That data gets confusing when you try to track the customers by name since it shows their hospital visits being before their wait times. Super confusing. Other than that, the other excel tabs don't even have tab names and just provide confusing data with no background details.

There are also some fishbone diagram files in a file format that I've never seen before and don't know how to open, and some minitab files. I'm very confused as to what the approach is supposed to be or what I'm expected to be submitting. How can I prove that the ideas I present will improve the customer satisfaction and lower the wait time? I feel like there is likely a lot more details, background information, and expectations that a professor would be explaining about these projects in the live class that I'm just not getting since it's the self-taught version. Also, how long do these take to be graded?

TL;DR: What exactly am I expected to be submitting for the simplilearn green belt course end projects? If others have passed the class, I'd love insights

I've been limerant for my coworker for about a year and a half. I've done my best to make it clear I'm interested in her and have flirted casually. My flirting definitely hasn't been subtle, or at least I don't think it has. I've struck up chats with her, have complimented her a few times and even gave her a very casual gift a few weeks back(literally just a little sticker craft I was mistakenly sent 2 of, nothing crazy). I get the impression that she's aware of my feelings and has been trying to show me that she isn't interested. In fact, I'm almost certain she isn't interested in me

She's literally never initiated a conversation with me. Every conversation I have with her feels like I'm a make a wish kid asking a celebrity about how their weekend went or what things they like to do in their free time. She always gives the most barebones answers, like she's just being cordial cause she has to be. It feels like the conversations I have with her are basically just interrogations, but she's still pleasant to me during them which has made things a bit confusing. She talks and interacts with other coworkers more excitedly than she does with me. I've added her on instagram, and she didn't add me back, but she's added all her other coworkers back. She didn't even add me back on linkedin, which is just sad since she sits 2 desks down from me. That one stings.

I wish all that was evidence enough for me to just accept that I've been rejected and move on, but I'm still stuck fixating on her. I think part of the issue is that she doesn't know the extent of how much I love her. It feels like I never got my closure cause of that. I think she just sees me as a weirdo who thinks shes cute, but I sometimes wonder if she knew just how much I loved her and appreciated all the little details about her, not just the way she looks, if it would make her feel seen/appreciated. Maybe it would even change her feelings about me.

I don't necessarily want to put it all on the table at once when I'm asking her out, but I'd love to just walk with her to her car one day and casually say something like "you know I like you right?" and ask if she would like to grab coffee. I'm confident she would say no, but I think it would help me to hear her say it. Maybe there's a slim chance she would roll with it and go out with me just for the hell of it, but I'm not holding out hope. This would be me asking her out so that I could hear her reject me so I could maybe make some progress in moving on. Would it be wrong to ask her out since she's already basically shown me she isn't interested? I feel kinda bad about it. It's not even the fear of rejection that makes it tough, it's the guilt of knowing I'd be ignoring all of her cues and creating a potentially awkward situation. That being said, if someone felt this way about me, I'd want them to get it off their chest and have me reject them out they could move on. I still feel like it would be a bit selfish in my situation though

edit: in case anyone wants the full lore, here are my other posts about her. Link 1, Link 2, Link 3(most relevant)

I had a mourning dove make a nest on my apartment balcony last month. She laid eggs, they hatched, and about 2 weeks ago the baby fledged and they abandoned the nest. Today I went outside and noticed a mourning dove on the railing, and another one that flew away from the nest. I looked in the nest and there were 2 eggs. Is this possibly the same mourning dove coming back to her old nest to lay more eggs? Is the second mourning dove on the railing maybe her first kid? It looked fully grown, it would surprise me if it grew up that quick but I don't know much about bird growth

I want to get out of my comfort zone. I feel like I do the same thing every day, talk to the same people every week, and lead a generally passionless life. I'm in a great run club already, but I want to seek out new clubs, events, and classes, no matter how crazy or niche they are. Honestly, the crazier the better. Whether it's geocaching events, dungeons and dragons nights, language clubs(I speak French), art groups, meditation sessions, woodworking classes, volunteering opportunities, or intro to sock organization classes, I really don't care. Absolutely anything goes as long as there will be opportunities to meet people and it won't be intrusive for me to show up as a complete beginner. My goal is to get out of my comfort zone, force myself to try new things, meet new people, and hopefully find new hobbies I'm passionate about.

Free events or paid one-time events are preferred, I'd rather not have to sign up for a month of classes that I may end up hating. Where can I find opportunities like this?
