Safe Wee

 

I renewed my radiation worker training at work today, so rest assured the world is that much safer.

Of note: There's a flaw in the training, at least in my way of thinking, and I believe I mentioned it the last time I took it. It's still there. And maybe it's just me. But they shouldn't show one way of doing thing and then go on to introduce new steps in the quiz portion of the training. Maybe they don't regard the quiz as a quiz. I guess the important thing is that the training is done.

Not that I use it all that much; not that I use it at all. But as a technical writer, it does help me get a better feel for what operators are required to do, and any bit of understanding of the process can make for better instructions.

And I find myself feeling old-fashioned. In this web-based training is the ghost of the practical exercise I did for the first time in a real-life mockup with a Navy nuke teaching the course. That was better.
