I felt like I was johnny-corporate yesterday. The cause?... why, a mid-afternoon Safety Seminar.
The only thing I can surmise is that the company that insures us makes us do this. Why would anyone give a safety seminar to 40 people who sit at a desk for most of the day and the heaviest thing they lift is a stapler? Why would anyone pay a salary to a person to travel the country and get ridiculed for an hour while trying to seriously convey that improperly holding your mouse or sitting in your chair incorrectly can cause you to be a parapalegic by the age of 55?
The only redeeming qualities about the meeting was (1) free cookies, (2) my boss and department getting the stink-eye from the instructor for continually giggling (he wrote: "Chris leaving the bar" under a picture of a guy ankle-deep stumbling through a pit of cement and thought it was the funniest thing ever) and this video
which the instructor played 14 times for so. I learned that i should not wear a back brace, I should sit more than an arm's distance from my computer and under no circumstance am I to stick my hand in the paper shredder to "feel if it's working."
Next week is Sexual Harassment...
