Incidents, accidents and near misses

OK RPM session today with the T lady.  OK being not quite as good as “good”.  OK is well, OK.  Partly due to the soundtrack – no real  favourites.  Although as previously acknowledged, I need wosessions like today to make me appreciate the music mixes that do work for me.  The OK status is also partly due to my zing factor not being quite the ZING I would like it to be. Not a reflection on the instruction, as the T lady was “focussed” on working the room.

At one point I looked at the Round the Bays Poster and focussed on the the word “fun”.  Well, I wasn’t really feeling the “fun” today.  Although if the rider that was two, or was it three? seats away in the other back row, had been seated next to me today, it is possibleI may have not necessarily felt more fun, but possibly my heart beat go faster….

I had a work meeting this afternoon, that necessitated both my “watch” advisors being in the same room – the mountain lady and my colleague.   The take away message from that meeting was “there is no such thing as an accident”.  This is a work related message re what you need to put in place re safety for “education outside the classroom”.  All the relevant stuff that applies to that message  - planning, responsibility etc applies to training and making positive changes on a personal level.  Nothing new in those messages to me.   Just a “timely” reminder.  Positive change is not accidential, it needs to be planned, and that plan executed to the specification.  I'm too free range on a few things, and its halting my progress.

Oh yeah, we also discussed “patterns” in the meeting.  That’s been occupying my thoughts a little on a personal level too.  Good patterns, reoccurring patterns, not so good patterns, and the need for a one out of the box new pattern.

My watch goal is not really on track.   Having the work meeting this afternoon reminded me of that.  There was as usual a really nice vibe about the meeting, and that reflected the energy of the people in the room. 

The meeting reminded me I really do need to focus re getting back on track.  I can’t let the goals that are important to me escape me.

Also, on a d&m level, I'm struggling with the credibility factor.   To be specific, I need to do justice to myself about my goals, but I also need to do justice to having a LM membership, and the instruction.

This is not about near misses, its about setting and reaching the goals.

Oh yeah, accidents, incidents and  near misses, are "health and safety" "work" terms.  They help though with the framing the focus.

Not necessarily a "favourite", but the song I can't get out of my head this week...
