I had a shitty day yesterday!!!!!!

zippyt • Feb 15, 2005 11:26 pm
Lets just say that i ended up curled up in the fetal possition on the couch after it was all over .
To start the day off I had to leave the house at 6:am to be in the shop in Memphis at 8:00am , there was a nasty wreck on the way blocking one of the bridges accross the Mississippi river so traffic was piled up crossing the one lane( got to love construction ) open on the other bridge , my boss started calling at about 8:05 asking me where i was at , i told him about the wreck , he called back at 8:15 , and every 10 minets untill i got into the shop , at 9:00am , i arrived and walked in to his office describeing all this to him on my cell phone . i was supposed to pick up one of our big trucks and go check truck scales . I noticed one of the tires was low and found a bolt in the tire , i told my boss about it, " aww it'll be ok just go " , so a short disscuccion insued about truck maint and seeing as i will be passing over 2-3 state lines the tire needs to be fixed , so i went to get the tire fixed , 3 hours later I finaly get on the road , and get stoped at the first state scale i cross , a side marker lite wasn't working , the DOT cop said "fix it " i said " thank you for not giveing me a ticket , and i will fix it " . Our big truck has a rather large box on its rear and i found my self hanging over the side fixing this fucking stupid little lite . Ok lite is fixed and i'm on my way again . There is another wreck that delays me for another hour , oh well " say larve " , so i notice that the truck is low on fuel so i stop at a truck stop to fuel up . I pull up to the pump , give the attendent all my info , put the fule nozel in the tank and start it going , then i turn around and start to reach for the window squege thingee , the FUCKING fuel nozel pops out of the tank and TOTALY hoses my down from head to toe in diesel fuel befor i can get it stoped ,and i meen TOTALY this nasty shit is dripping down the crack of my ass thru my clothes !!!!!!
I calmly cleaned my self off as much as i could , finished fueling up the truck , paid , and called my boss telling him i was going home befor i got killed . He wanted to argue about it , i didn't , he could hear it in my voice .
It took me 3 showers and half a jug of simple green to get cleaned up , i used the other half on my clothes , then showered again , and curled up on the couch .
That folks was my Vday :dead:

I would think being doused in gasoline is a very unsafe way to drive... Was there at least a hose at the station?
zippyt • Feb 16, 2005 6:09 pm
It was diesel fuel , it takes more to start it burning than gas , BUT it burns hotter .
And yes tuesday was better , busy and productive , to day was better , tomorrow , well we will see

I could just hear the conversation in the emergency room " so how did you shoot your self in the ass ?" " well see i had this messup day , and well i desided to shoot some to relive some stress ,and well ,, have you ever seen the three stooges ???? I guess i had a case of Curlyitous ."

Bummer Zip. This will make you feel better :)
Guy at work has his VW towed into the dealer because it won't run.
Dealer says 3 days and $2500 because the catalytic converter melted shut and took out some engine sensors too.
But they are a Hertz agent so they rent him a brand new red mustang GT.
He went to his bro-in-law's to see the guy’s brand new van.
Backing out the driveway he creamed them both. :eek:
See, things could be worse.

Late getting to this thread but was thinking that your boss is the one who needs a deisel shower. yuck. Its not just getting the stuff off your clothes and skin, its getting the smell out of your nostrils. I can still smell some of the crap I used to work in and that was decades ago.

If patience were cash, you'd be Bill Gates. Of course, if cash were patience, Bill Gates would be you, too. :)

Nice to see you still have a cents of humor zip. That's something I could imagine myself.

Why let a bad day get worse by fiddlin' carelessly with a firearm? Use a car, it's generally regarded in this society as more acceptable to smack someone with a car.

Then there is always the calming feeling of knowing that whatever crappy thing happened to you in a given day, you'll write something about it in the cellar and somehow that in itself will make it better.
