Physics. Prepare for dust cleanup from HVAC replacement. Start 6 am Friday.


Wed 11-4-2015. Help sign shop. These posters were removed from hospital west complex because the staff are wearing an official, required identification badge. That raises the question whether there's been a policy change.

Why does this journal have so few pictures of people, only before and after pictures of work? Nobody wants to be photographed working if the slightest rule is not exemplified. For example, I was once lying under a huge tank because of the small space, wearing full PPE, respirator, safety glasses, full protective suit, steel toed boots, and gloves. But not wearing the hard hat meant they couldn't use the photo in the newsletter. I'm hoping to get some action pics so it doesn't appear the work is done through magic.
