@BattleByrd May I share this photo when I teach people about good ergonomics, please?

It’s summer in Chicago, the city we call “Chi-beria” during the winter.

I’m in the Loop conducting office ergonomics assessments. What are you doing today?!

I’m reprising my talk, “What’s Going on in Ergonomics” in August for the ASSP Region III PDC in Rogers, Arkansas, and for the Region VI PDC in Myrtle Beach the following month.

Just like JC Penney, “It’s all inside,” because there’s a lot going on in t…https://t.co/bsTtT1IP7m

Five years ago this month the Cal/OSHA Hotel Housekeeper Musculoskeletal Injury Prevention Program (MIPP) Standard went into effect for everyone who rents rooms in California.

It requires annual assessments of all housekeeping tasks, plus training of hou…https://t.co/43KvUauqWD

Spencer, the QP3 Ergo Lab, wishes his American friends a joyous Independence Day.

(He also asks everyone to leave
The fireworks to the professionals—he’s been super stressed out the last few days.) https://t.co/45CYYMay18

I’m pretty proud of my daughter. She spent the last ten months studying at the University of Graz, Austria, returned home Saturday—and already has a job for the summer with Jimmy John’s, even though she returns to school in only a few weeks.

We have fri…https://t.co/CyyG9TzKDE

On July 4, 1776, American patriots signed the Declaration of Independence, which ultimately changed the course of human history.

Five of the 56 signers were captured by the British and brutally tortured as traitors. Nine fought in the Revolutionary War…https://t.co/AQmeH0c3R7

This was not the easiest week of travel, as my Tuesday day trip to a client ended up being a two night, three day experience.

So Spencer, the QP3 Ergo Lab, had to wait until this evening for a reunion.

About 99 percent of what I experienced this week…https://t.co/xGBnJUHwRb

@united I’m stuck in San Francisco because my flight was canceled last night. I rebooked to a flight on Thursday, but when I tried to use the app to get out today, it wanted $372

Last week I witnessed a veritable miracle at Chicago O’Hare airport.

Just after boarding our flight, an older couple realized they had left a briefcase on the electric cart used to transfer them between terminals.

Everyone from the gate agent to the g…https://t.co/6awEC1GibL

Our Scouts BSA Troop held another Eagle Court of Honor this afternoon to celebrate the achievements of another young man.

He was instrumental in helping the troop not merely survive during the pandemic, but actually thrive and grow, bucking the nationa…https://t.co/B5upsgB8OQ

Today I gave a talk at the Eagle Scout Court of Honor for a young woman whose brother is in “my” Troop.

In it I channeled lessons from the fictional Ted Lasso series. I encouraged her to “be curious,” and to “never dare to settle for just fine in her rel…https://t.co/zDDHKEGo17

Spencer, the QP3 Ergo Lab, is a “dog’s dog,” and this cartoon by Gary Larson sums up our morning walk at his favorite park, as Spencer found something particularly putrefyingly pungent.

He’s a clean dog now, and my day is off to a much slower start than…https://t.co/vnj3HvR1DU

Spencer, the QP3 Ergo Lab, was applying the principles of good work design yesterday.

Instead of bending down to chew on his stick, he set it on the flower pot to keep it at a more comfortable position.

Simple coaching in work techniques and ergonomic…https://t.co/ksbH6KSPxP

As I reflect on our quick trip to DC, we passed by the US Army Fort where my father served in the early 1950’s. And on Father’s Day, of all days!

You’ve been gone 20-years, but thank you, albeit late, for your service. https://t.co/uTL8gqfMuy
