that was the week that was.

Well what a week I had this week.

After a weekend of trying to get an assignment done to get onto a course I commented on in my last post, to sideways rain. It been a bit of an odd week. then to top it off I find half of my St John unit read my blog.

So I hear you wondering, what course qualifier was I doing and did get on it. It was the selection event for the trainers course. and I don't know yet, I am still waiting for an email. I am on tender hooks (not literally, that would be painful) waiting for the answer.

after getting the assignment done, and a morning with my mum at a hospital appointment for her. I had an hour of work, before getting on the road with Jay to get to Cannock Chase Hospital (what was it about hospitals that day!) where the selection event was happening.

It was not a bad run out to CCH (Cannock Chase Hospital) cruise control was used on M54 to keep under the 50mph speed limit for the road work. got stuck in some traffic in Cannock Chase itself as we got there at rush hour.

We got to the room smack on 6pm (first for me to be on time :D) unfortunately the training team got stuck on the M6 and arrived 15 mins late. Which was no big thing, we got chance to have a great chat with 2 friendly lads from Staffordshire St John. Who where surprised to find we came from the far side of Shropshire.

The selection consisted of a written test, a presentation and an interview.  I did not do too well in my presentation, I got lost half way though, whoops. I think the interview went well.

As for the written test. I ended up putting "Pick up first aid manual and look up treatment, as I have blooming forgot it" to the question how do you treat croup. apparently not many people get that question right, So I hope I get one mark for saying look it up. well one of the Training team said fair point when a commented on my answer was made.

Then on the way home we ended up in the aftermath of a person driving the wrong way up a dual carriageway.  The worrying this is, I did not find that strange or unusual.

Till next time Dear Reader, Stay Safe.
