That Search and Rescue thing may have made me (more) obnoxious

May 06, 2015 11:39

So, it's the midyear compliance training season at All Your Phones Are Belong To Us (Yes, Even That One,) and we just took the second episode of Emergency Preparedness, where a bearded bald actor in a black T-shirt that says "Disaster" torments a nice young man in a suit and tie with the jacket off because we're all just friends here, talking about tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and terror attacks.

I am now in the process of torturing our floor warden with the fact that someone who hasn't worked here in nine months is still listed as a "searcher" in the emergency plans and no, he may not put me in there because (a) I am a Cobb County Search & Rescue monkey and we are not in Cobb County; and (b) I am routinely the first person in the church parking lot across the street in an emergency because I don't play when the alarm goes off.

If they push the issue, of course I'll be a searcher, but I insist on the company buying my safety swag gear, including an air-conditioned hard hat.

cert, search & rescue, training
