The Post-Apocalyptic Workout: Day 36: I'm Here to Help.

Huh?

What use does a post-apocalyptic world have for a television writer who throws amazing cocktail parties? None. The following pages will (hopefully) document my attempt to become a useful member of society in case that whole zombie thing happens. Started 1/2008, abandoned 3/2008, and back 3/2011

Woo congrats on being a card-carrying life-saver! I used to keep my CPR/1st aid current, but I have slacked. I have, though, given the Heimlich or whatever-they're-calling-it-now maneuver to someone who was choking, and then I got all shy when people were giving me props for the next several weeks. I mean, what else was I supposed to do? Toss him to the zombies to distract them?

Next time you have to say why you're REALLY there.

Or I will torture you with slimy eggs!

@Gnat: The instructor had a whole bit on the fact that you're not obligated to help, but he was big on it'll make you feel good. However, he also kept stressing that "the paramedics will just push you aside when they show up." Um, yeah, that's what they're SUPPOSED to do.

@Alyce: NooooooooOOOOOOooooo!

@Joelle: I hope it was the creepy neighbor you startled!

I was once forced to take a First Aid/CPR course that didn't award the spiffy certification card at the end. I'm glad the powers that be aren't holding yours hostage.

And thanks for the comment on my gym experience. I had a minor geek-attack when I saw that the wonderfully witty Slackmistress had graced my blog.

The cards are sort of flimsy, I was thinking of attaching them to some ninja throwing stars so I could just toss them down when I swoop in to save the day.

I hope your geek attack didn't sideline you! ;)

I have to get certified for CPR every two years. I once forgot and learned that I get sent home if the boss discovers it has expired. And then I have to PAY to take it on my weekend. Not good.
