Guess what?

I get to start my new job this week! Well, yeah, it is only one day - Thursday - but it's a start! Then next week I get to do Wednesday. Woo!

Seems this is the initial part of my training.

Not exactly sure of the time table. Could be something like:

 9am Full Body Search, confiscation of mobile phone, chewing gum and sawn-off shotgun

9.30am Presentation of Keys, tips on jangling them menacingly

10am  Arrival through maze of gates at Library.

10.30am Drink tea/Locate Panic Buttons

11am Self Defence - for beginners

12 Noon Lunch

1pm  How to use Your Radio - without sounding like a dork

3pm Handcuff techniques

 Hmmm - sounds good for the first day. Now - I wonder which bit I am looking forward to the most ;-)

 I'll let you know how it goes.....

Radio usage

Now, the important thing to remember about using a radio is that you're not just talking to the one person - other people can hear you. When we first got our radios, we used the callsigns "Mother Duck" and "Rubber Chicken" (among others), not realising that the people on reception could hear us.

It's not really a problem anymore - our radios are rubbish, and the batteries only last about half an hour, so the novelty wore off very quickly!
