Saw the same guy outside smoking three different times today. Then, my brain started wondering what sort of impact smoking has on productivity. And, I don't automatically think it's negative -- maybe some smokers are MORE productive, because they actually take their breaks. Who knows? Stuff for somebody's Master's thesis, I guess.
I got the fun task of digging into the emergency response carts to check the pressure levels on the SCBAs (Self Contained Breathing Aparatus) and inventory the vapor barrier suits. The part in my job description about needing to be able to lift 50 pounds actually is true! The worst part is that the carts are stored in sheds and they're all spider webby. Yuck. Spiders are not my favorite critters. I saw a squished (thank goodness!) black widow on the side of one of the carts. I'm not strong enough to get the carts out of the sheds, so I had to work on them inside with my skin all creepy from thinking about spiders.
On the bright side, the weather is truly lovely today. Rather windy, but quite clear and fresh and warm. I had some serious "spring fever" feelings as I walked from emergency cart to emergency cart.
