You Thought You Had A Bad Day!

My buddy has me on his fowarding lists of emails,I know it's long but trust me it sucks to be this guy.

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 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. 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 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 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 jelly fish bad day.
