More effort needed

Just finished yet another week at school. Been a tough one. Really stressed out on the final day. So much stuff to remember. Biggest pain was because it was alot of abstract software type stuff. Stuff that is normally used by pilots. But its on the plane so we gotta know it too. Anyway, exam was tough but made it thru ok. 78% roughly, above 75% so its a pass, good enough.

On a side note. Whilst in the loo at the school. I couldn't help but notice the soap holders were installed the wrong way up. Bit of a give away as the curved surface was facing up while the cup shaped face was on the underside. Then when i go into the cubicle I noticed the loo roll holders were installed upside down as well. Typical of the work ethic and mentality of this place. But then I thought well, ya cant paint everyone with the same brush. Maybe it was just the guy who did the job who couldn't give a toss. But later that evening I popped out to the nearest supermarket to grab some food for the weekend. Whilst entering the main doors I spied this sign. Something about it caught my eye and I went in for a closer look.
Fire Exit written in brail. Sign perched about 2.5 meters in the air! Like a blind person would be running their hands along at that height! And even if they did, supposed it doesn't help that the brail dots are printed on and covered by a clear hard plastic board! So if they ever managed to touch the sign they wouldn't feel any of the brail written on it! And to cap it all off. The fire exit is actually a door 4 meters to the left of the sign! If anyone were to follow the Fire Exit sign they would swiftly find themselves in the men's loo!

Just makes me wonder if these people even bother thinking about what they are doing when they are tasked with a job? Then thinking back to work I can see it evident in several of the members of the "hired help" we have not so recently took on.
