Powder verses CO2
Tuesday again, no meeting, training and development instead. We learnt how to use fire extinguishers today. There are six different types for varied types of fires and available at varying costs.
The presenter was a bit of a joker with a lot of cracks about how he became bald. There were also a number of methane jokes told. Three people were asked at the start of the training to go and grab a fire extinguisher of a particular type. They came back 10minutes later with only one extinguisher. We were all burnt to a crisp according to the bald presenter.
Saw a video of a house fire that started from a single match and got so hot a window burst after 2 minutes. The fire department takes 6 minutes to get to my workplace.
Powder extinguishers are $40 but they destroy electrical items such as computers the alternative CO2 extinguishers are $100 and are safe. Because they are cheaper we have only got powder extinguishers. If there was a fire we would use a $40 extinguisher and ruin $100 000 worth of equipment. Apparently we cant afford to buy CO2 extinguishers.
Science department asked - "Is that one sodium bicarbonate?"
PE department (in response to "has anyone used one of these in the last year") "yes, I used one I had lying around to teach my kids"
Tech Studies department asked - "what if a child is on fire, which one do we use then?" ¶ 6:01 PM 0 comments

Policy on Policy Making
Tuesday arvo is reserved for meetings. Today we spent 30 minutes discussing the proposal for a new policy on policy making. Then we discussed the differences between business shirts and casual shirts, long and short sleeves, straight and tailed seams, tucked and untucked scruffiness. We also touched on litigation issues to do with sun safe policys and skin cancer in later years. ¶ 6:24 PM 0 comments

Every one knows I burnt my toast (tales of town house living) by ~tilda
Today I burnt my toast and the smoke detector went off. Everyone in the surrounding townhouses can hear everyoneelses smoke alarms. The new people were on their balcony across the way and they were laughing at me trying to wave the smoke away with a tea towel.

I changed the look of my blog because it looked crap before. After I had spent about 2 hours changing it to green I then thought I should have changed it to white, kind of snow like, because im going to the snow. I got told that it was better green so I feel better about it now.
Friday night I went to dinner with some girls that I havent seen for ages. Sister was at a loss so i let her come too. It turns out the booking was for 5 and we brought 3 crasshers. It was very squishy.
1. We were talking about ex boyfriends and she said "Remember xxxxxx, I cant believe I went out with him. Remember when he gave me those bears, ha HA HA HA HA HA AH "
Im not sure if she heard, but xxxxxx's girlfriend was sitting opposite. I tried to stop her but the message didnt get through until it was too late.
2. We were getting into sisters car to go to the pub and sister gets in and drives off not realising that xtra guest#1 was not in the car and the door was open. Takes a good 20 metre for her to stop and retrieve xtra guest #1. Xtra guest #1 feels a little unwanted.
3. Get to the pub and there is a line up. Someone talks our way in. Floor is very sticky and they are playing " I like big butts". Sister says shes leaving cause she has chronic fatige and is being tested for everything tomorrow so she needs rest. We dont allow her to leave even though she is obviously tired and distressed.
4. We make chronically fatiged and distressed sister drive us to town even though she lives in the other direction. She finds out we are planning to squeeze xtra guest #2 in the car and has a hissy fit. She screams and xtra guests #1,2and 3 all get out to catch a cab. I calm her down and tell her to cool off. While shes cooling off we manage to get everyone in the car.
5. We are driving to town in the berina with four in the back and a commodore with four in the back drives past really fast. Then slows down and starts waving a rubber fallic shaped object out the sun roof. Sister decides this is a good time to tell us what a dirty sanchez is.
6. Go to clubs and meet about 10 mechanical engineers. Play pool and win 2 games, dance on the empty dance floor, run into an old friend, play foos and win two games, club shuts so go home.
7. In the morning heard a rumour from an xtra guest that one of the mechanical engineers was a porn star.

Maths through comedy:

Youth 1 - hey, this isnt that complex when you know what your doing
Me - nothing is that complex when you know what your doing
Youth 2 - except i ¶ 3:39 PM 0 comments

Lied down to watch star trek at around 11pm with intentions of doing some work at 11:30 but I woke up at 2am and couldnt see because my contacts were still in. So I got up to take them out and they were stuck to my eyes and it really stang. Because of the pain and suffering I couldnt do work so I went to sleep with intentions of doing some work early in the morning.
Woke up at 6, got up at 7, left home at 735, got to work at 755. Had to walk my bike across the race course because there was a man with a dog and a ute that hanging around.
Left work at 1230, left a note and a snickers for the woman who fills in for me on Wednesday afternoons. She is very quiet and aloof and doesnt tolerate any hoo ha, or so I am told. I got an electric shock from the door on my way out, but it wasnt severe because someone has put a rubber protector on the handle to stop severe shocks. ¶ 3:28 PM 0 comments

Funny things my friends want to do on weekends:
1. Drive down hindley st with classical music through the sub woofa
2. Go to Victor Harbour and find a suitable family that is picnicing on the lawns and spread a circle of bread crumbs around them to attract the seagulls
3. Hand out "Jesus hates you, he is never coming back to earth" flyers next to the fundamentalist ¶ 2:28 PM 0 comments
