Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Yea, I know what your thinking. But it really does make sense. Im sure many of you have half wondered what I do for my new job... so... I shall explain today! And of course, include all the strange things I expereince on a daily basis.

So, as I enter work today I hear a large WHUMP sound followed by a scream. Mind you, this is behind a steel door and 3 locks. Now, the first thing I do is walk away. ******** it. If someones being murdered, why bother. xD So I go and get some cookies out of a vending machine (breakfast of champions) and come back. Everything SEEMS normal, minus the funny looks, and a few smiles. And from behind the door I catch Weeker come charging out with this MASSIVE (football sized) tape ball hurling for the back of my leg. No s**t, it was like slow-mo. I twist, get smacked right behind the knee cap, yelp, and flop over. Funniest thing ever. The tape war continues for a good 30 minutes, and several bruises, one light, and 3 ceiling tiles later we finally get to work.

So, a few hours into working we're running up a FLIR pod (which consists of me pushing buttons, and watching my back for tapeballs) when another co-worker decides he wants to have fun with an electric drill. Not a big one or anything, its a mini one for tight spaces and small screws. So, as im bent over this console, im talking a third co-worker through installing a part which i need to run up. The convo goes something like this.

"Ok, just slide it in right there. Little part in the hole."
Him~"Right here? Are you sure dude, It doesnt look like it goes there."
"Oh, put it in you panzy. Dont be scuuuured. "
At which point I hear a whiring noise, running feet, and laughter. Follwed by a drill rammed into my a** cheek.
"OW! Holy ********! You just screwed me in my a**!"
Boss (from behind her desk)~ "Whoa! Ok guys, you need to like... take a time out. Cold shower... take it out side." gonk

So... We do! xd But not in that way. They take a smoke break, and I follow (though I dont smoke). Along the way I pass a chief. Chiefs are like the gran-daddys of the Navy. You dont want to piss them off, and if your around them, be squared away. I was not. This big burly black chief stops, turns, and looks right at me. Now. For those of you who have seen the movie The Incredibles, towards the end samual jackson says the line "Honey, where is my super suit!?" in a funny a** way. If you havent seen it, watch it and you'll understand. In that SAME voice, tone, and manner he looks right at me and says "Shipmate! What is up with your sideburns!?!?" And Immediatly I think of Samual jackson looking for his super suit, followed by this random cheif fighting crime with insanely long sideburns. I BURST out laughing. Like, dying in front of this guy. He blows a gasket in his head, and explodes at me, and im sitting on the ground, tears in my eyes, losing it. My co-workers (some of whom have seen the movie) are also cracking up. 3 hours later i got written up, but it was so worth it.

So, thats my basic day. Give or take. You guys should come out and see it for a day. You'll lose your minds. xD
