Parkour, training and vacuum cleaners

I used to be interested in doing parkour (I still am but mom might be reading so it's a "used to" thing). As a kid, I spent hour jumping off of this one picnic table to get better at landing. I didn't really progress past that but let me tell you, if there is a table height distance to go down, I jump it because I know I got it. Not super impressive. 

I am on evening shifts for training next week, so I won't be posting until the week after, when I officially start my 7 on, 7 off schedule. It seems like training has been taking forever. And there is questions about whether I might need more training as right now I am only trained for night shift workflow, but other shifts have different duties I could learn so I could cover for people. A part of me is kind of like screw covering people, I have a life outside this job I want to live. But the nicer part is willing to help if I am asked. But for right now, no other training is booked and I am okay with that. 

We aren't allowed to use our phones while on duty, so if we want to listen to music, we are left with the radio. I have heard the same ads so many times I am certain I can quote them. I understand advertising is how radios make their money. But how many times do I have to hear a cheesy skit about some company before I decide to buy from them? I can tell you right now that I have no interest in buying a car or diamond ring despite hearing multiple ads for them every time I have to listen to radio without channel surfing. Sure, if I ever need to buy one, I can recall the time I heard a radio ad, but most likely, I'm going to do a search online anyway. But what do I know? I'm just a potential consumer.

My mom talked about vacuuming today. I hope she isn't planning on doing that while I'm sleeping. I can sleep through quite a bit but our vacuum cleaner is LOUD. Maybe I'll hide the vacuum under my bed to avoid such nonsense. But then maybe she will buy one that's even louder. What a conundrum!
