You thought you had a bad JOB !
>

> 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 your FM dial in

> Ft Wayne, Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest.

> Needless to say, she won.

> Hi Sis,

> 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 stuck to your butt.

> Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job..."
