A Bad Day At Work
<br> <br> Next time you have a bad day at work...think of this guy. Rob is a <br> commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana. He performs <br> underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is an E-mail he sent<br> to his sister. She then sent it to radio station 103.2 on your FM dial in<br> Ft. Wayne, Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest.<br> Needless to say, she won. <br><br> <br> Hi Sue, <br> <br> Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a <br> bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, <br> so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's <br> not so bad after all. Before I can tell you what happened to me, I <br> first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. <br> <br> As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to <br> the office. It's a wetsuit. This time of year the water is quite cool. <br> So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial <br> water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of <br> the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it <br> down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air <br> hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several <br> times with no complaints. <br> <br> What I do when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose <br> and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit. This floods my whole suit with <br> warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi. <br> <br> Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to <br> itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. <br> Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out <br> from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had <br> happened. The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it <br> into my suit. Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the <br> jellyfish couldn't stick to it. However, the crack of my butt was not <br> as fortunate. When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually<br> grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my butt. <br> <br> I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His <br> instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five other <br> divers, were all laughing hysterically. <br> <br> Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make three <br> agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five minutes before <br> I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When I <br> arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet. As I <br> climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down <br> his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as <br> soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I <br> couldn't poop for two days because my butt was swollen shut. So, next <br> time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it <br> would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt. <br> <br> Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.<br>

I can relate to the jellyfish problems. I'd rather have a dose of poison ivy on my "bubba parts" than to deal with the jellyfish again.<br><br>shortround out

Yeah that would be a bad day... minding your own business when aliens suck you into a machine that forces you to breed outside your species when the experiment goes awry and you die a horrible death. Poor jellyfish.
