Armed with determination (and absolutely no visible risk assessment), he scales a table like a modern-day Michelangelo\u2014if Michelangelo wore grey tracksuit bottoms and questionable decision-making skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stance is confident. The grip is strong. The balance? Well\u2026 we\u2019ll circle back to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One can only assume there was an internal dialogue before this moment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cShould I get a ladder?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cNah.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cShould I maybe ask for help?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cAbsolutely not.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cWill this table support my life choices?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cLet\u2019s find out.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, somewhere in the distance, a Health &amp; Safety officer just felt a disturbance in the force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be fair, the commitment is admirable. The sign is being aligned with the precision of someone who definitely did not read the manual but is <em>deeply confident anyway<\/em>. And honestly, there\u2019s something poetic about fixing a sign for an educational institution while actively demonstrating what <em>not<\/em> to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Final verdict:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Initiative: 10\/10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creativity: 9\/10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compliance: \u2026we\u2019ll discuss that offline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moral of the story?<br>If you ever find yourself thinking, <em>\u201cThis table looks sturdy enough,\u201d<\/em><br>just remember \u2014 somewhere, a risk assessment just burst into flames.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are two types of people in this world:those who use ladders\u2026 and those who look at a perfectly innocent
