Fire in the hole

And this afternoon's tremendously exciting and informative way to pass the time? Mandatory fire and safety training. Which, fair enough, is a valid exercise, just rather unfortunate that it came a week after my induction day. Same people. Same topics. Same words. Same jokes. Same hall. Same seat. No free coffee.

At least this was only an hour, although even that proved enough for the chap next to me to fall asleep, which was quite impressive. I had to swat him with the attendance register to wake him up enough to pass it on. Well, probably didn't HAVE to...

Incidentally the only actually practical bit of the induction fire training was being shown the different types of extinguishers, and how to operate them, and what fires to use them on. Which was the one bit they chose NOT to repeat. Go figure.
