Is that really the proper way to take care of a dead whale, anyway?

Well F THIS SHIT!
Just got a call from my fiance saying his was in a bike accident this morning. He is banged up but okay, and it didn't sound like his bike got messed up as mine did, but he had to file a police report because it was a legitimate car accident involving a pick-up truck turning right into him (late signal). An ambulance came and checked him out, bandaged him up where needed, and now he's off to try to get the few things wrong on his bike checked out.
I'm obviously glad he's okay, and that his bike seems mostly okay. BUT WHAT THE HECK. WHAT THE WHAT THE WHAT THE HECK!
THIS WEEK SUCKS.

We have a car. But don't want to drive in the city where we live (terrible traffic, pay for parking, etc.). We use it to leave the city we live in, and for grocery shopping.
His bike is fine. He got it fixed (it was a quick fix apparently). But still, STUPID WEEK!

damn - glad he not hurt too bad...
the wife had a guy in the ICU last night that was hit by a red light running driver - lets just say being a 53 year old man who has completed 20+ ironman's doesn't do much for you when you rub metal with a car - doesn't look good for him-
ya'll please be careful!

On a brighter note, my fiance went to a job interview at noon today (two hours ago) after all that happened to him this morning, killed it, and has already been made an offer (not written yet) for a job at a competing company to the one he currently works for. Same base salary, but plus quarterly bonus and commission, so not a terrible offer when his current company is probably going under pretty soon.

I am a safety rep at my office, and every year we have a fire warden training to prep for the upcoming fire drill.
Every year at the training, I tell the wardens, "If you can't be a fire warden anymore, please let me know as soon as possible so we have time to find a replacement."
So a year goes by, I set up the training, and no one says anything. Like if you decided not to be a warden, that would probably be a good time to tell me, right? When I set up the training? Nope, no one says anything. Then I send out a contact sheet for the wardens to update, 3 or 4 days in advance of the training, and THEN 10 people decide to tell me that they aren't wardens anymore, and don't have any replacements in mind.
ARRRRGGHHHHHHHH.

whew I don't miss doing H&S training.
Yeah, it's not a very popular on our campus. Which I get, it can be a pain during evacuations. But it requires 2 hours of a person's time a year, so my sympathy level is a little low.
