    eek Think your job's bad?

    Next time you have a bad day at work, think of this guy........

    Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Mayo (IRELAND).
    He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is an email
    he sent to his sister. She then sent it to RnaG (Irish radio station) in
    Galway, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest. Needless to say,she won.

    -------------------------------------------------------

    Hi Sue,

    Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad
    day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so
    thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so
    bad after all.

    Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few
    technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the
    sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wet suit.

    This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is
    this: We have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This £20,000 piece
    of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful
    temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which
    is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've
    used it several times with no complaints.

    What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and
    stuff it down the back of my wet suit. This floods my whole suit with warm
    water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.

    Everything was going well until all of sudden, my butt started to itch.
    So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few
    seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the
    damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened.

    The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit.

    Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to
    it. However, the crack of my ar@e was not as fortunate.

    When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the
    jellyfish into the crack of my ar@e.

    I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His
    instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five other
    divers, were all laughing hysterically.

    Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make three agonizing
    in-water decompression stops totalling thirty-five minutes before I could
    reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression.

    When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet.

    As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running
    down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my ar@e as soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't
    poop for two days because my hole was swollen shut.

    So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your backside.

    Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job."

    Hahaha, that sucks
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    lol. Another one doing the rounds of all the forums. They spread fast these days.
    The contents of this post are my opinion and may not be subjected to any form of reality
    It means I'm not an authority or a teacher, and may not have any experience so take things with a pinch of salt (a.k.a bullshit) rather than fact

    LMFAO - Butt jelly anyone?
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them
