This is the end, my only friend, the end
The insanity of the first part of the year has finally come to an end. Closed Italian Girl on Sat night, and finished off the occifer course Sun afternoon. That's put paid to fire service training for the foreseeable future; at this point there are only 2 courses left that I've not completed, fire investigation, and executive officer. Since I'm not even a station officer yet, EO is years away. And they just ran the investigation course this weekend (conflicting with my SO course) so that prolly won't happen for as much as a year. As for operas, production starts on Onegin in August. I'm rather looking forward to doing a whole lot of puttering about the house and doing stuff with the fam.
SO course went pretty well. We managed to kill 2 FFs, 1 punter, and an SO, but I wasn't involved in any of those drills(well, I was observer for one, and role player for the other 2, but the point is *I* didn't kill anybody (not even punters). Interestingly, 3 of the 4 fatalities were under the control of the same SO student. Buggah. All my incidents went reasonably well given my relative inexperience, and I generally recognized all my faults on my own and called myself on them during the debriefs before the observers had their say. Overall I managed to avoid the majority of the typical traps, which was gratifying.
