what a day

[Dali]

wow, my car has been parked the last two days due to it being minus 30 and frozen, windier than hell. finally it warms up to 15 below and i get my friend over to jump start the mx3. after about a hour and half screwing around with the car we get it running. drive my mother to the doctors office then off to the government building, all of a sudden i hear thwapping sounds, i know the alternator belt is now cut. park the car and wait for mom, now she needs to go to the hospital, belt is smacking the engine, i come to a four way stop and it quits, charge light come on and one more big wack sound. just as i go i see this large black wheel go rolling up the hill in front of me.......i know its too big to be the tensioner pulley or off the alternator, oh good its the outer half of the crank pulley. so off to the shop to fix it, install a inline water heater since a block heater in near impossible to install when the motor is still in the car. after a couple of hours pulling the part off one car and trying to get it onto mine i notice the shop really smells like burning wood, there is a wood stove in the corner of the shop but it never stinks. look up to see flames shooting out of the wall, tyler just went to the neighbours to get a impact gun so i got no help. first fire extinguisher is jammed, second one works but blows back in my face huge. blast it with the third and then the first one, grab the hose and hook it up to find there is about 3" of frozen water in it, so now its time to start throwing buckets of water in the chimney and rip the wall down to put the fire out. slip on some splashed water that froze within seconds to blow my lower back out. get that all out, wall rippped apart, clean the shop and start working on the car again. finish putting the heater in, new crank pulley, no belt but did happen to have on in the blue car thats under a foot of snow and fixed the broken ebrake. get home and crawl into the shower only to have the powder from the extinguisher run into my eyes and burn like hell. nine hours later and im heading off to bed. what a day

Here's another fellow who had a bad day.

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

Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global
Divers in Louisiana. He performs underwater
repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is
an E-mail he sent to his sister.

She then sent it to radio station 103.2 on FM
dial in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, 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 I 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 a 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 butt was not as fortunate. When
I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was
actually grinding the jellyfish into the crack
of my butt.

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 totaling 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 butt as
soon as I got in the chamber The cream put
the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two
days because my butt 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 butt. Now repeat
to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job,
I love my job."

Now whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself:
Is this a jellyfish bad day?

May you NEVER have a jellyfish bad day!!!!!
