that's why we had the environment suits
Jun. 12th, 2012 10:22 amReading IT has reminded me of a little story:
A few months ago I took HAZOP response training: safety gear, air paks, enviro suits, emerg response rules, response centre setup etc. On the 5th and last day there was to be a big combo exercise incorporating all the stuff we had covered. One of the instructors had been out setting it up in one of the shop areas we had set aside. This guy was pretty dry and funny in his presentation style which had been much appreciated over the previous long days of lectures and exercises.
He walked into the room and announced: "Okay, our test exercise is all set up. This is as close to the real thing as we can make it, and it's going to be kind of intense for some of you. Everyone needs to focus to their utmost!
I have one last very important question before we begin: is anyone here...afraid of clowns?"
Ah, screw you guys, I thought it was funny.
In other news, I found a copy of Fiona Apple's "Extraordinary Machine" [2005] at the library and am enjoying myself enormously. It's a nice counterpoint to the Mahler.
