Yes I took it from an email but I thought it was too good not to share...
I LOVE MY JOB
If you don't laugh out loud after you read this you are in a
coma!
This is even funnier when you realize it's real!
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 off shore drilling rigs.
Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister.
She then sent it to radio station 103.2 FM in Ft. Wayne, Indiana,
which 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, 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 the 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?
