I'm worried about my hearing.
At Ascension last weekend during a conversation I heard 'polka dots on the dance floor' whereas what was really said was more along the lines of 'look there are people dancing in formation'. Quite a sight that was too (the timewarp maybe?). I reckon I misheard because of the high volume of the music, even though 'polka dots' and 'formation dancing' just doesn't sound alike at all.
Now today, on a coffee break in the relatively quieter Napier Uni apex cafe, I was introduced to someone who sells hedgehogs online. Turns out it was selling textbooks online.
I think its time for a hearing test...
Apart from the hedgehog/textbook confusion, the second round of training went really well again today, with six members of staff attending. One staff member is involved in some really interesting work with electronics in craft/jewellery/clothing and there might be some opportunities there which I'm keen to follow up.
