Its that time of year - Safety Competition

Yesterday was my employers annual safety competition in which I was lucky enough to compete. The morning started of with a hearty breaky of bacon and egg rolls. Over Breakfast with D and Woo, Woo showed me her new lens and explained how it works. An impressive piece and, some excellent shots were captured throughout the day by her. After that the day went into full swing!

There were various displays from all the different areas of my employer and also some of the suppliers/ companies that my employer has alliances with.

The idea of the day is to put our skills into practice against other people in various competitions and also to broaden our knowledge on safety. The day also allows us to have a chat to others that are from many different areas and learn about how their job has an impact on mine or vice versa. I can say I came out of yesterday more knowledgeable.

The competitions I entered into were :

Train Faults and Failures - T Set
Waratah PPP Project Safety Quiz
Operational Safety Quiz
Fire Safety Management
    My Results were as follows :

    Train Faults and Failures - T Set:
    3rd Individual fastest time for drivers.

    Waratah PPP Project Safety Quiz:
    Silver Medal and Prize of an LED torch

    Operational Safety Quiz:
    Got into the finals but not much further than there.
      Fire Safety Management:
      Gold Medal and prize of a Digital AM/FM Clock Radio with
      Gold MedaliPod dock








        Woo and D also gained some positions. Woo got Bronze Medal in the Waratah PPP Project Safety Quiz and D got Silver Medal in the Operational Safety Quiz.

        Favourite Photos - Jellybean Pool

        Trying a little positive note. Here are a few photos that I took. This is my first real attempt at this type of photography. Let me know what you think.

        iPad 2

        Front of iPad 2 Back of iPad 2 Now I don't claim to be any tech expert but I thought I would share my story and opinion on the iPad2. Not owning the original iPad I only had a small idea of what to expect from playing with them at the apple store and seeing what others were using them for. So I took the plunge. I waited up until 1am on the 25th March to ensure that I had one secured through the online store. I had in the back of my mind that maybe JBHiFi or Dick Smith might have then on Launch day at 5pm. When I awoke on the 25th I rang Dick Smith and they said yes they will have them and will release them at 5pm, the same time as Apple. I was thinking should I or shouldn't I line up? As the day went on I said Yes I will line up. So unlike all those people who lined up for days in front of the apple store in Sydney for the iPad I waited only 2 hours with a Lemon Lime bitters slurpee in my hand from 7-11 and secured one once 5pm came around. I wasn't alone. 2 ...

        In an attempt to be social

        I don't normally post things like this but this seems like my only source of release at the moment. Should I give up being social? Over the last week I invited 3 friends to meet up and have a coffee. None of them replied. I can understand maybe one or even two of them ignoring me but all three. Hmmm. After a crappy week I thought it would be good to meet up and have a chat with a friend but seeing I didn't get that chance, I relied on the things that always cheers me up, my beautiful wife and puppy and the progress on my new home. Thankfully not all was lost. Yesterday I attended a party for a friends birthday. It was good to just chill and have a good time. Happy Birthday Druey :-) Looks like another week ahead on the other side of happy. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
