that I am intrinsically unsafe.

Problem is, for the umpteenth time I have been lectured today on safety. My group contributed to the original safety manual for what we do; we are aware of the safety requirements because we wrote them, more or less.

But we have to make the customer and all it’s agents happy, so we humbly sit through a presentation by a man whose hands have never felt a wrench, no callouses anywhere on him, and he cannot make it through a ten minute talk without cutting himself on the plastic cap of his pen. And now we are safer because we listened to him.

Sometimes, this is what we have to do.

But we should think of Hugo in his happier days.

I like a lot of different music, but a powerful lot of musicians are too cool for any room they happen to be in. And they may feel so justifiably (I’m looking at YOU, Donald Fagen) but i still like a band that can poke a little fun at theirselves and it seems like that’s what this is.
