What a day at the office!

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 a radio station 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 wetsuit. 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, heats it to a delightful temperature, 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 wetsuit. 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 bum started to itch. So, of course, I
scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few seconds my bum
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 bum was not as fortunate. When I
scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the
jellyfish into the crack of my bum.
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 bum
as soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I
couldn't poo for two days because my bum 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 arse. 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!

THE LESSON: NEVER FORGET TO COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS............
