IT training

I had the rare pleasure of a train ride the other day. It was a pleasant carriage with an informative scrolling display listing all the stations we were calling at on the way to Carlisle. This would have been helpful and reassuring but for the fact we were going to London. As an infrequent train user I did have a worrying time thinking “surely I didn’t get on the wrong train? … did I? … I wouldn’t be that stupid? … would I?”. Unfortunately I know I can be that stupid so I was a little nervous.

However, after a while an automated announcement told us to we were approaching Watford (which I figured must put me London bound unless Carlisle has moved or the train service is even weirder than I thought). What was obviously a pre-recorded message told us to get our things together and ensure we didn’t leave anything behind. You would have needed to have your stuff well together to have got off at Watford as the train didn’t stop there.

Oh well, technology might be wonderful but garbage in still gets you garbage out.
