the next chapter

Well what can I say it’s been a busy two days. On Wednesday 10th we started with a look at the culture of the company, discussing what could happen and how to deal with certain situations. This was followed with more seminars. The Artists in the Artists and Writers Programme by far carried out the best seminar of the conference. I also found the inspirational moments very interesting as it showed other peoples perspective on life down south.

The seminars finished at lunchtime and then the training started. My first course was Fire extinguisher training, not a bad course but one that I have done before. I did get to play with the extinguishers though!

In the evening we had a BBQ followed by a Ceilidh (Scottish Dancing). All in it was a very good night and I got some good photos which I hope to add at some point.

Today we started first aid training which was quite intense, but I guess it has to be for the environment that we are going to work in. It’s a pity that we don’t receive a certificate for completing the course. We also gave blood so that they could find out our blood group.

I’ve got more first aid training for the next couple of days and then oil spill training which I’m looking forward to.
Hope to get the photos on soon!
