"No, write that. G for God! Write that!"

judecorpSo I was at this CPR/First Aid training today, la la la, and I didn't like the main presenter. He seemed to be a bit of a bully and would try to be funny with jokes that, well, weren't funny. (You know the type.) But CPR went without a hitch, and then he cut our lunch short - apparently this was because he wanted us all to complain about it to the person who schedules the trainings. Why? Because they used to provide lunch and now they don't, so he's mad.
ANYWAY, so we're in the First Aid part, and he starts talking about this acronym to remember about First Aid. He says it's "A B C D D E F G," and has us all write this in our books. Then he tells us to write what the letters mean as he says them. It's all straightforward things like "Airway" and "Breathing" and "Circulation" and stuff like that, but then he gets to G. He asks what we think G means, and I say, "Go home." People laugh, and he says no, it's "Thank God," and I thought he was totally joking. So no one is writing and he says, "No, really, that's the G. God. Thank God." And then he goes on a little spiel about how when something happens, the last thing you should do is pray and thank God. Of course, I don't write anything down, and I leave my G blank. He looks down on my book and says again, "Everyone write that down - G, for God." I still left my pen where it was, and for a moment, our eyes met. He was totally pissed at me, and said something like, "Anyone who doesn't believe in God just doesn't know yet. Let me tell you this story of this accident I was in..." blah blah blah. And then he said, "So now that you hear that, you should all believe," and a bunch of people started saying, "I believe," and stuff. Holy crap, I was going to throw up! What does this have to do with First Aid?
On the evaluation sheet, I wrote simply, "Religious comments were inappropriate." I was so ired.

Date: 2003-10-16 04:01 am (UTC)2. Good luck to YOU -- remember, this is an organization headed by Elizabeth Dole. How far would a "complaint" really go?
I just hope his Bible Belt Welt is the size of a canteloupe.

Date: 2003-10-16 06:09 am (UTC)(Friend of Lemurs here) Just wanted to say Bravo! for that remark. We need to start standing up to these Christians. They really seem to think that everyone believes like they do and that they own/run this country.

Date: 2003-10-16 07:12 pm (UTC)I like Christians just fine. I just don't like religious talk in inappropriate places. That would be like the guy randomly talking about his sex life during CPR.

Date: 2003-10-16 08:03 am (UTC)Ok, maybe not the swear words parts. Maybe I'd just add in some things about Satan and the Dark Lord. Ok maybe not that either. ;)
Anyway. I agree with you. You ROCK!
