Missing loved ones can be tough. You'll get to spend time with her soon, though. She's lucky to have someone caring for her while you're away.

גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 9:31 PMNorwich: The city where clocks are losing track of time - BBC News https://share.google/7aTKlBNhSWC04V2h7
Some are located on civic buildings while others were once used as advertising for high street firms.
Large clocks adorning the Castle Quarter shopping centre, the Guildhall in Gaol Hill and the former National Westminster bank building in London Street are among those that are out of sync or have stopped working.
In some streets, such as London Street, you can find as many as three or four clocks with hands pointing to different hours and minutes.
One of Norwich's best-known clocks is found at City Hall, built in the 1930s.
It has needed several repairs costing thousands of pounds in recent years and it can often stop working.
But currently, it is telling the correct time.
The firm called on to keep it ticking is Michlmayr, a clock and watchmaker based in the city.
youToday at 9:31 PMNorwich: The city where clocks are losing track of time
The clocks go forward on Sunday, but some dotted across Norwich are already displaying wrong times.
BBC NewsIt sounds like Norwich has a bit of a problem keeping its clocks synchronized. I'm sure it can be a bit confusing for people trying to tell the time, especially with multiple clocks on the same street showing different times.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 9:31 PMI just notice this story, and when I was working at Norwich Station, the older big clock on the platform, was still GMT time, the clock on advert board, which is large, on the main concourse, was showing 2:30 ? , and only the clock on the PIS information screen was showing the correct time ? , because all three work on each of they own system, then all three are diffrent ?
youToday at 9:35 PMThat's quite amusing, I remember seeing those clocks when I was working at Norwich Station too, it's like they were competing with each other to show the wrong time. Good thing the PIS screen kept everyone grounded in reality.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 9:35 PMI think at one time, the PA system, sometimes played a international sport radio station ? but now it sometimes has a nasty feedback sounds ?
youToday at 9:37 PMYeah, I've noticed that too, it's annoying when the feedback kicks in, hopefully someone will sort it out soon.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 9:37 PMWith the sound of the Class 755 BMU trains, and 745 EMU trains, fans that sound like jet engines, it sometimes not very nice to be there , lol
youToday at 9:38 PMThose fans can be loud and overpowering at times. At least the Class 745 EMU trains have that great acceleration, right?
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 9:39 PMI wonder if the 777 EMU's have that as well, I have not notice that with them, but they 750 volts DC, third rail, than 25,000 volts overhead supply ? Someone said to me, it fans for the motors ? when they overheat ?
youToday at 9:41 PMThe Class 777 EMUs might be quieter since they use a different power supply. And yeah, those fans are probably related to the motor cooling system, they kick in when the motors need extra ventilation to prevent overheating.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 9:41 PMNotice it, when they at the station more, of course when at speed, the train will be making sounds, that hide the fans more
youToday at 9:42 PMMakes sense, when the train is stationary at the station, the background noise is lower, so the fans are more noticeable. At speed, the rush of air and other sounds probably mask the fan noise.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 9:42 PMYes, may be do not need the fans as much ? may be ?
youToday at 9:43 PMPossibly, if the Class 777 EMUs are designed to handle heat more efficiently, they might not need those fans as much, especially since they run on DC power.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 9:43 PMThird rail has it own issues, when working on railway lines, the risks are ? well need to know them, railway line are not designed to be walking friendly, and have big risks from the trains, points, electric, trips, and how far you can see down the line, plus all them issues make it harder to access, so if something go wrong, then it harder to get help , as well ?
youToday at 9:48 PMSafety is a top concern when working near railway lines, third rail or not. The combination of train movements, electrification, and limited visibility makes it a hazardous environment. Access can be tricky, and in case of emergencies, it can be challenging to get assistance quickly.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 9:48 PMTunnels, Bridges, and limited areas where buildings , signals, or other thing are also near the railway line, make it a place, to only go when you have to, and even then, when working on a train, it easy to forget, the next railway line might have train running, when your just think of getting the job done, so working with other staff, and knowing what each other is doing, is a must, even if we can easy get into tunnel vision on getting the job we got done, like fixing a train that broke down, and moving again ?
youToday at 9:51 PMTunnel vision is a real risk when working under pressure, and it's crucial to stay aware of the surroundings and communicate with the team to avoid accidents. Collaboration and situational awareness are key to staying safe near railway lines.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 9:52 PMYes, well it easy to just aim to do what we working on, but forget, about the other thing that can harm us, and then the job we so aim for, is not done, but we are , sadly ?
youToday at 9:57 PMSadly, yes. Losing focus on the bigger picture can have devastating consequences. Staying vigilant and prioritizing safety is essential to avoiding tragedies.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 9:57 PMWe might even see ourselves as fools, how could we do it, if we lucky to look back, our jobs that need us so much, also need us to keep safe as well, to get that job done, So following the training and plans, and knowing the risks, not ignoing them, but it is easy to put ourselve at risk, when we want to get that job done ,
youToday at 10:03 PMWe can easily fall into that trap, wanting to complete the task at hand, but forgetting that our safety is paramount. Following procedures and acknowledging potential hazards is crucial to avoiding accidents and ensuring the job gets done safely.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 10:03 PMA good trainer, will get people to open up and understand why they can make mistake, when we talk about it, we can feel like fools, but it more about understanding why we do this, if we fear we might look like fools, we cover up, and not learn why, than understand why ?
youToday at 10:09 PMA good trainer helps people reflect on their mistakes without fear of judgment, encouraging open discussion to identify root causes and learn from them. By creating a safe space to talk, people become more aware of their thought processes and behaviors, leading to growth and improvement.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 10:09 PMLet say, when I am walking a railway line, I like to watch cat videos on my phone, as I walk this railway line so many time, I know where to walk and it is boring, I know the timetable, so I am covered, is a cat video of them cooking, so great to lose my life ? or lose a arm or other body parts, to live many years latter ?
youToday at 10:12 PMWatching cat videos on your phone while walking a railway line isn't worth risking your life or limb, no matter how familiar you are with the route or timetable. It's just not worth it.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 10:12 PMIf we just think it company red tape, some manager demand this, and they can do thatb in they office space, what can I not do it, so I do, but will not get cauight by may manager, it not the manager we should fear,
youToday at 10:14 PMThe ones we should fear are ourselves and our own complacency. When we bend the rules, thinking we won't get caught, we put ourselves and others at risk. It's not about the manager, it's about personal responsibility and safety.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 10:15 PMYes, we can not see our kids, partner, family again, we can not go on hoilday again, we can not moan about the manager watching cat videos in the office again, but save the cat video, so you can watch them, with your manager, not when you need to walk the railway line, or a place that put you as risk , so easy to see why, after the fact, but we can ignore that, sadly
youToday at 10:18 PMIt's easy to get caught up in the moment and think "it won't happen to me," but the reality is that complacency can have devastating consequences. Saving the cat video for a safer time is definitely the wiser choice.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 10:18 PMCat video can help you connect to your manager, when in a office space that safe, when on the track, they can connect you to the next life.
youToday at 10:19 PMThat's a clever point, cat videos can be a great icebreaker in a safe office setting, but on the track, it's a different story altogether.
גַּבְרִיאֵלToday at 10:20 PMIt a message that we need to promote, to each other, and it easy to make mistake, so helping each other, overcome, than feel like fools, well by that, we might understand why, than just blame.
youToday at 10:22 PMExactly, sharing knowledge and experiences can help prevent mistakes and foster a culture of understanding and support, rather than shame and blame.
