Yet another Combitube and defib class.

I worked on getting some more computers set up. Class was cancelled however we needed to meet with the teacher. The teacher had each group do a one-on-one meeting with her. My partner and I decided to meet at the computer lab before class then meet with the teacher at what would be the end of the class hour. My partner went to the wrong lab so we never met up. I did get a good two page outline completed for this project we are doing. We are working on a paper that will propose a new policy for virus protection in the residence halls at WSU.

After that class I headed back to Colfax to finish out my working day there. I went to different offices trying fix that problem I have been working on for the last few days. It looks like some people are being helped by getting their Windows Updates up-to-date. I am trying to think back to the people who have had problems. It seems to me only those with Windows XP has been having the problem, but not everyone with Windows XP only some of them. The problem is that someone who is having the problem has Windows XP and all the services packs are up-to-date.

Anyway, I ran them on a Juvenile department computer and on the Auditor's computer. I hope this will help them. It was reported to me that someone who was having those problems ran Windows Updates yesterday and today has been fine. No reboots.

I headed out of here at five-thirty so I could get to Leo's Shoe Repair shop. He was resoling my Pullman Fire Boots. Now they have a nice soul on them. I got those then headed to campus for my fire training tonight. This is my third straight night of fire training and my fourth out of five. When you are on two departments and a Haz-mat team you seem to train a lot. Tonight was Mega-Codes. I went to the WSU fire department to find out what class it was in. The guys up there told me. Then I went in and talked with one of the Captains, Terry. We were working on the new SCBA's that we got from a grant. These new ones are awesome. They smaller and lighter than the old ones. That is nice when you are crawling around. I chatted with him for a little bit before leaving to go to class.

Our instructor Tony was talking about what we needed to do. We all chatted about some of our drinking exploits before starting in with class. We did four scenario's. Sometimes the person lived. Sometimes he died. We had to Combitube him, do CPR, and defib him. After the class I headed off to Colfax. CSI was on, I wanted to watch that before heading off to la-la land.
