1st Aider

Well I've survived and passed my 4 day 1st aid course. This now means I'm qualified to dress injuries, give mouth to mouth etc... Not that I fancy giving mouth to mouth to anyone on site, think I might be using the face shield provided for that one! Course has been interesting, usual gruesome pics and stories of death from stupidity galore. Its also tested my acting skills (which suck) as half of the time I've had to be a casualty for my partner. The tests at the end were a bit nervey, but apparently I did nothing wrong.

Did manage time out last night to witness the miraculous escape Liverpool managed in the champions league. 3-0 down at half time, what a come back and then the tension of a penalty shoot out! Anne Robinson eat your heart out! Then elevate the wound, bandage and compress and call an ambulance ;-)

Went to a gig monday night and saw Captain Everything, who were amazing as usual. May have had a few beers at the same time and knew about it the following morning as I was a little slow on the uptake of certain types of slings. Was generally a busy gig though and there was a surprising amount of ladies present, especially for Newcastle.

Other than that this week has been spent polishing off another quarterly report for tomorrow, when I'm due back at work. OH HOW I'LL MISS THE LIE IN!
