Ouch!

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 "worst job experience"

contest. Needless to say, she won.

Hi Sue, just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week

you had a bad day at the office. I know you have been feeling down

lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you 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 is 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. Then it pumps it down 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 is 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. I 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 hair on my back, the jelly fish 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 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 3

agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling 35 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 2 days because my butthole was swollen shut.

So next time you are 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."
