First Week of Training

This first week of training consisted of an orientation, meeting the management, introductions, lots and lots of team building. We did quick orienteering course and hike. Learned about effective communication by verbally navigating a hiking trail for someone who was blind folded.

We had a full day of generally safety and OSHA training. We went to a ropes course where the station electrician took this awesome picture of me jumping off a telephone pole.

We had another whole day of Myers-Briggs personality profiling and positive communication and how to deal with people you can’t stand.

On Saturday we took the cog rail way up to Pikes Peak for fun and for a little altitude awareness. The altitude difference between Denver and the peak is about the same difference from McMurdo to the South Pole.
