Stupid training graphics

[mijan]

Do the folks at the EPA, OSHA, and the Department of Transportation think they're cute by having the HAZMAT training and emergency response refresher course filled with obnoxious little graphics and shit, while being slowly read aloud by an annoying male voice?

Dude, just send me a basic outline, let me read it, and let me take the test to prove I haven't forgotten this shit.  SERIOUSLY.  I've turned off the volume for the narration, but I still have to wait for each page of the training presentation to play through.

WHYYYYY???

I'm already well-trained in emergency response.  Chemical spills, chemical exposures, hazmat shit... yeah, I know this stuff.  I deal with it daily.  And now I've got to prove that I remember a bunch of stupid acronyms for federal regulations so that the next time some idiot researcher with more technical know-how than common sense decides to douse himself or herself with a toxic chemical, or spill an organic solvent in a public walkway, or cross-contaminate an entire lab with unknown substances, I can try to keep the damage to a minimum.

After this section, I'm going HOME.

Yeah, it's been pretty blustery here. Cold AND windy.

Not good or bad. Just considering.

And I would PREFER to have a gender-ambiguous OR masculine name, hun. *sigh*

Name swap? :D (Although, tbh, it's not exactly gender-ambigious: I'm Frances, he's Francis.) *hugs* ♥

Meh. Dunno.

Sorry, my brain seems to have shut down. *sigh*

I think I won't go to the gym tonight.

Oh, bb. *hugs* Shut your brain down, and take a rest as soon as you can. And no gym - that's a new rule. ♥

No gym? But... but... I can't let myself get chubby! *flails*

*whimpers*

My god, I feel so pathetic right now.

Embrace my position on chubbiness/whatnot: food is good, and I am lazy.

Okay, well maybe not exactly. But still - going to the gym when you're most definitely not 100% can't be the best of ideas, and it'd be better if you just felt better. And you're not exactly going to be eating shedloads if you're not feeling well - so no more "chubbiness" there.

*hugs* Patheticness comes hand in hand with illness. S'okay. It'll pass. ♥♥
