This is for the otw_onlinecon, and because I'm a masochist and feel like embarrassing myself.

( my way too detailed and embarrassing fannish history )

Yesterday was annual safety training, again. This year's class only had 9 people in it, which meant the instructor was, like, talking to each of us individually and stuff. Hooray. He also showed lots of stupid videos that had nothing to do with safety training, like some guy getting run over by a police car. Yes, please, next year can we have even more "fun" videos involving car accidents? Apart from that, it was pretty much the same as last year.

He took out the bloodborne pathogen movie, so we didn't see the heteronormative graphic connected to "sex with an infected person" (I notice the weirdest things.). The instructor told the same story about a woman getting Hepatitis C from a tattoo "a few months ago," so I think he made the whole thing up. (Of course, as we all know, you can also get Hepatitis off a burger from a countrycide stand.)

I vaguely remembered HazCom Man, but had apparently blocked out most of the horror. HazCom Man has red sequins all over his hard hat. His whole outfit is a parody of Superman's suit, covered in color-coordinated sequins. Clark Kent *wishes* he was this fabulous.

Methods for detecting a harmful chemical release include seeing, hearing, smelling, awareness, and observation. Observation means that you notice people are acting funny or sick or whatever (for example, if their faces start turning into gas masks and they start wandering around asking everyone "Are you my mummy?").
