Oct. 4th, 2005 12:02 amWhat a boring day. Got up, went to school, had lunch, dropped off a couple of books at the school library, came home, spent time on the internet, and watched TV.
I'm really starting to enjoy one show in particular. It's called The Tube, and it chronicles the day-to-day events that occur on the London Underground. One day it's training a new employee, the next day it's track maintenance or catching fare dodgers. I can safely say that I will never get a job with the LU or any other subway system. One of the steps in the training process is to learn how to walk on a rail line and avoid the electrified rails, which have about 600 volts running through them. They start with a dead piece of track, but to pass the lesson you have to do it on an in-service line and not step on the electrified rails or get hit by a train (the latter seems common sense, though). I don't think I'd ever be able to do it and not electrocute myself.
Going down to Windsor on the weekend for Canadian Thanksgiving. While I'm there, I'll hopefully stop by Fort Malden, a War of 1812-era fort. Not sure what I'll be learning there, but I imagine it will be useful.
Good night and good news.
