: 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 Laughline, 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
: 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 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 5 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're having a bad day at work, think about how much
: worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.
