Title: It's a bad day at work when.....
Post by: osage outlaw on October 28, 2015, 05:34:01 pm
It's a bad day at work when I had to spend my afternoon hosing poop off the ceiling  :P   I'm just glad I wasn't in that building when the pipe blew apart.


Anybody else want to share what a bad day at work is to you?

My last job we had an area in the city that would flood about once a year. It was below the Sewer's biohazard solids disposal facility. It was fun to watch how fast people got their kids out of the flooded streets after you told them that. That was kinda Crappy.

Being at work when someone got killed (power plant) made for a very bad day.

Working on a drill rig barge in Cape Canaveral harbor when a big hydraulic line on the rig blew out 50 yards in front of the Coast Guard Station.

Last Friday a plumber died on our job. Its a new high rise and they were pressure testing their mains and something blew and killed him instantly. Needless to say i came home and kissed my wife and kids and put down a few cold one's.

Yea, a death at work is a hard one. I've seen a few working on drill rigs and in the phosphate mines for 40 + years, never easy.

When I started this topic I hadn't thought about deaths.  That is a rough one Paul.  We had 2 operators die in 1987 from hydrogen sulfide gas.  They went in a tank to get a piece of plexiglass that had fallen in.  They lost their lives over a piece of plastic.  One night my friend reset a boiler at work and it blew in half.  The top of it got caught on some conduit runs right above his head.  That conduit saved him.

I've seen one death at work and it never really left my mind. Its hard to watch and hard to forget.

For me a bad day at work is when life outside of work wont let you be. It makes the work day miserable, even if its not. No, I'm not whining Pauly! :)

Inpatient psychiatry

It was almost a bad day at work when an acutely suicidal patient palmed a plastic knife from the kitchen and made it to an artery.

It was almost a bad day at work when biting into an apple got a nurse strangled.

It was almost a bad day when I got a gob of bloody saliva spit into my eyes.

It's almost a bad day when we're working with half the staff the Unit needs

But the only bad day is when I find a patient's name in the Obituaries.

Worse day at work? The Monday morning at school waiting for 1st period to start, when I was asked to be a pall bearer for one of my students. She was 13... Leukemia... Her name was Michelle.

     Speaking of poop, at one of the Fire stations, I sometimes worked at, when there was a heavy rain, the sewers would back up, and while taking a shower, you would smell something, and look down, and you are standing in about two inches, of poop, particles, suspended in water.  Then the drain in the middle of the bay, would over flow with the same.  Nice.  As for deaths, When I worked at our central dispatch, I would dread getting a child drowning, as one year, we had quite a few.  Then when I was in the combat side, death on calls was somewhat common, suicides, car wrecks, house fires, and not but a half mile from the station, one evening, there was a 2yr. old that drowned, and despite, the best of two of our best medics, he died.  The Engine driver, and I were left trying to console, and calm down the Father, till his neighbor, who was a nurse, could take over. This was a Christmas eve.
J.W., just string Steve along, till after Christmas, give subtle hints of what would be a great Christmas gift, then after Christmas, tell him you have decided to go straight again. ;)   At least till next Christmas. ::)
