I wasn’t really sure what to write for my first post here on CoTradeCo. I felt it was my duty as a UK Employee to have (at least my first) post relate somewhat to the company, but I also wanted to give everyone here a little bit of a better idea of who I am. Fortunately, I was presented with the perfect topic last night, when I was least expecting it, at the gym.
Unlike those who seem to be able to magically shut-off, and run endlessly on the treadmill/elliptical trainer while staring into space, I seem to get bored after about 15 seconds. Lately I have been combating this by watching episodes of "Dexter “:http://www.sho.com/site/dexter/home.doon on my I-Pod. The show came highly recommended by my dad who shares the same television/movie tastes, and preference for black humor that I do so I went ahead and downloaded the episodes so I could watch them at my leisure. Anyway, I just finished the first season, and was on to the first episode of Season 2. I was only half paying attention to a scene which featured scuba divers when my eyes caught something on the tiny I-Pod screen. “They’re using a UK light!” I shouted aloud and to no one in particular (I am sure generating some strange looks). Of course it wasn’t until I got home later that I was able to freeze frame on the shot and really see what kind of light they were using and make sure it was a UK.
It was our D8 Xenon, which would make perfect sense in this scene, since the divers were supposed to be pretty deep and the D8 is waterproof to 500 feet. Not to brag, but it also makes sense that the divers would be using a UK light in the first place, since UK Dive lights make up 75% of the world’s dive lights.
Anyway, all my company pride aside, it was pretty cool to see the light on one of my new favorite shows, even if it was in a scene in which unsuspecting divers come upon a dead body (such is the nature of Dexter). I was wondering, are there any other fans of the show on here? Any one that can recommend another show I can get addicted to once I am done with Dexter to beat treadmill boredom?
