Level Of Difficulty at Work: 2 out of 10 (in training, but had to do things in training..ick.)
NapTime During Lunch: none
I had one of those lovely training days (not like the movie), where it was updates on CPR, AEDs (those little boxes that help heart attack peoples), and some Life Health type stuff, stuff which your supposed to do in order to die happy, not die suffering, die happy..
Our instructor is the lovely Ben Dorcy, he trains every emergency personnel in the city of s.f. so he's got a good gig (teach the same thing year after year)and is well known. Well he's also well known to gross you out by various methods. Every training session i do i must turn in an evaluation in order for the big wigs to see if the classes taught are effective in what the teachers are doing. You've probably seen it, 'rate how the instructor is knowledgable in the class.' and 'does the instructor use multimedia effectively in class (handouts, videos, demonstrations, whatever). Yea Mr. Dorcy excels in the multimedia section. He romps around all them websites for gross videos, or pictures, and blasts us with them everytime i go to his yearly 'refresher' course. To me it's semi-gross but he exclaims that he does it to desensitize you from all the blood, n guts and everything else. Then after the wonderful picture show he goes around and tells everybody that they are going to die due to simple things.
i.e. My buddy was sitting next to me. He had a bottle of drinking water sitting on the table. Like most of my classes you can pull out your fridge and eat what you want in these classes. Well Mr. Dorcy sees the bottle and tells my buddy 'hey your gonna die drinking that stuff.' Trust me it's a typical thing Mr. Dorcy does, you just kinda hafta take it and figure out a smart remark back. So of course when he says such things your kinda dumbfounded about bottle water. So he says 'the benzene in the plastic will leak out into the water after a while, how long as it been out?' We look at the bottle and it's made and filled 09/24/03 and it expires 09/24/05. My buddy states that it's only been a month, and Mr. Dorcy gives you that uh-huh-ya-sure-good luck-look. So usually after class i feel like i was in one of them typical medical classes, where after the students learn about a new disease or symptom, they somehow start showing exact signs of this new disease or symptom. Well i usually get that way for maybe 2 days then it's back to normal.
The only thing that peaked my interest is Soda PoP.. He's never talked about it. It works like this..
1 sugar cube, heck do they make them anymore? where the old bugs bunny cartoons, bugs would ask elmer fudd, one lump or two? and he'd hammer elmer with a mallet of somesort. Well 1 sugar cube is 4grams of sugar. 4 grams of sugar is about 15 calories.
Pepsi has about 41 grams of sugar
Coke has 39.. Both equal around 10 lumps of sugar in each can. Can you say ouch?
So the odd part of this is.. This yearly refresher course i just took around May or so.. WhassupWithThat?
Reloading: I've done my 2nd batch of brass to the tumbler, the only thing that i'm not liking is the media going into the brass. i've got to pour them out before putting them in ziplock bags in order for me to resize them. And that media stuff is going everywhere! weeee!!! The neat thing is that everything that i got has directions, it's not like i'm gonna be left alone to set myself up for explosion.
Now i've gotta find a way to mount the case trimmer.. Heck i've gotta find a way to mount the reloader when i order it.
