Class again






Back in class this week taken yet another course, as always it is a mixture of learning, games, and boredom. This class is called QHSE2 and is to help me understand and assist in implementation of polices, and standards. So far I believe I have learned a few things, even if I do not always agree with the method of teaching them. The morning goes by fast, but by 3 in the afternoon I start having problems keeping myself focused on the class, I have by then grown sick of sitting and need to walk around. One instructor will not mention his name can put me to sleep in a matter of a few moments...

We review using Jeopardy and so far my team is in last place and going strong... Who knows maybe we can do better tomorrow....

Off to Canada




Once again I am on the move this time flying to Calgary Canada to attained a class up in Airdrie for my job. Been years since my last visit to Canada, 1995 if I recall correctly. Cost has gone up money exchange is now $10.00 US for $9.50 CA, times have changed for the old dollar...

Never flown out of DFW for an international flight was not sure what to expect, turns out it was simple. Went to ticket counter for boarding pass, then through the security and at gate waiting 20 minutes after getting dropped off.

Plane took off only a few moments late and we landed in Calgary Canada almost on schedule, easy flight no problems.

Made it to the Ramada Hotel by taking a sedan that cost $55 Ca dollar, That is about $57.50 US.. Not a cheap ride... Now know I can return for only $25 Ca / 26.25 US.. by taxi service here in Airdrie..

Do have a nice room as the photos show... now to find food and get some rest...
