There's a major incident day at work today. Apaprently it's a scenario-based exercise designed to test emergency plan procedures.

As the scenario unfolds over the course of the day some unusual activity is meant to happen around the University and/or colleagues discussing events associated with the major incident test.

It all sounds quite exciting! Have you had one at your place of work and what happened?

Are you with the CTU?
My old work just used to send us out to the paintball every few months.

I had a call that there was an explosion in the Norfolk Building. It's all bollocks.

JDInteractive said:

maybe you could cause another major incident?

jami0mckay said:

I already am one.

JDInteractive said:

This place has become impossible. Nothing to eat, freezing cold and now a madman on the prowl outside with eels.

The night is starting to bruise and we shall be forced to camp.

JDInteractive said:

Oh yeah. Major drama. Hugh used a load of milk on his Bran Flakes and then by about 2:30pm we had run out, so there was NO tea of coffee for the rest of the afternoon.




...Or so we thought! An emergency, impromptu contingency plan was put into practice, and Steve drove to the Co-Op to get a litre of semi-skimmed. Analysis has shown that this was sufficient to prevent a recurrence, as the milkman comes on a Wednesday (i.e. the next day) anyway.

Fuck me mate that was a close call, i assume that all back up plans have now been incorporated in to a proper strategic response and everyone knows what their role is?

When Steve took charge was he wearing a hi-viz?

JDInteractive said:

Did you just sit there and say "fuck off, i didnt hear any explosion" then smile?

This thread is highly comical

Well it was all a bit spur-of-the-moment, as you can probably gather (for example Health & Safety would NEVER sanction semi-skimmed when skimmed milk is readily available, but in light of his brave actions they saw fit to overlook this otherwise capital offence) so we didn't have a hi-viz jacket to hand.

Instead, we broke the reflectors off the bicycle of a passing old lady and gaffa-taped them to his polo shirt. And we commandeered the old woman's bike helmet as a "hard hat" too. She was only too willing to provide assistance, given the severity of the circumstances*.






(*i.e. she had just been violently robbed and had her bicycle vandalised by four very odd men in desperate need of a cuppa)

In times of crisis, these things have to be done

mdiver said:

Quite.

I mean, hey, she was old, she about to die anyways, right.....?

rocknrolldave said:

Your need was greater than hers my friend.

mdiver said:

Baby Jesus will repay her in Heaven with the shiniest bicycle and the most comfortable helmet she could ever dream of

It's daft indeed yet my threads have never been any different have they?!

Indeed he will, it is why he died for the sins of the world
