Taking accomplishment where I can

[hrj]

This afternoon I completed the entire slew of annual GMP and Health-and-safety online training (complete with graphic video dramatizations of all manner of horrific and bloody injuries that can happen if you Work In An Unsafe Manner). My department aspires to (again) be the first department to achieve 100% training completion so as our official Training Nag I must set a good example. My brain is completely fried. Maybe its that; maybe it's avoiding dealing with sorting out paperwork on my dining room table; maybe it's too many not-on-time bedtimes, but I've decided to hit the sack as soon as I've finished dinner tonight. We'll see if I succeed.

The surviving garments slideshow and lecture in SF last night was successful, I think. I even managed to finish on schedule despite not paying any attention to the time. But I was once again reminded that allowing an entire hour to get from the eastern end of the Bay Bridge to any given point in SF may be cutting things a bit close.

My first daffodil of the season is blooming. Its even almost light enough when I leave the house in the morning to see it (although not when I get home in the evening). I need to get more sunlight. Maybe that's why I feel all draggy.

When I worked at Alza I managed to scald my hand by spilling hot tea on it, and I needed to go see the nurse. Who filled out an official injury report. With questions like, "Was she trained in the use of this equipment?" (Yes, I know, hand injuries are a big deal in that industry, but I thought the paperwork was funny in that situation.)

So was the equipment in question the tea cup?

Yes.

I used to work for a food co-op, and happened to be around when one of the deli workers was grumbling over filing his Workers' Comp paperwork, because he had wrenched his back trying to lift about 60 pounds from a not-very-good position.

There was a space on the form for "Equipment that caused the injury."

He wrote "Bucket of tofu."
