Next time you have a problem with one of the professors, or even one of your clients, just remember this guy's dilemma. Have a great day. Wim > > > >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 the 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, heats it to a delightful temperature, and 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 rear end. > > > >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!!!!! > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
