I know we chose the jobs that would make us work holidays from time to time but it still sucks to be away from home. 5 hours down 19 to go!

CTopher87
I have the best water. I don't even treat it before I homebrew. Hats off to you!
JPre35
Really?! You dont have chlorine in it? Or do you use a well system?
CTopher87
No well. City system. Aurora CO
JPre35
ahh makes sense..CO has some of the best natural water in the world..more than likely doesnt need much treatment

CTopher87
One day he will understand
excusemewhileiwhipthisout2626
I actually work for the same company as my father and as a child I wouldn't see him a lot because he was at work. I understand more now then
CTopher87
My dad traveled a lot when I was a kid. I agree with you I understand now but I didn't then

That's so fucked up of your job (unless you are in a needed position like hospitals etc.) if retail than that really is fucked up. I'm sorry
excusemewhileiwhipthisout2626
I work at a steel mill and run a crane. They could have shut down for another day but they don't want too.
ImaTamI
That's a bummer! Merriest of days to you even though you'll be at work. Thank you for doing whatever you do!
CTopher87
That's too bad. I asked if we could put 911 on voicemail and we got a good laugh
singingintherain
My agency asked if we could route all calls to the sheriff's office... Same reaction!
IrememberMyFirst
Snow removal! Just had 8" drop. Only had 2 hours of sleep so far!
CTopher87
You are my hero. A under appreciated job.
Freefallingheather
Yeah I got asked why I work night shift & weekends, cause people are inconvenient & don't just get sick 9-5!!!
CTopher87
I really want to say you called 911 at 3am for this?!
Freefallingheather
Another one "feels Dizzy" it's 3am I'm f dizzy too, go back to bed!!!
CTopher87
"My husband hit me with a smoove" a what?! "You know you smoove out your clothes." I lost it.
Freefallingheather
Personal favourite a&e admission "stubbed toe!"
CTopher87
Awesome ha. Had a son call for his mom thinking she was on unconscious but she did not wake up because she did not have her hearing aids in!
Freefallingheather
This is why they keep me in the lab & away from patients lol
Freefallingheather
Epic, but least that's genuine. Seriously though a f stubbed toe!!!!
CTopher87
Yes that one was comical. I have so many bs ones. And we transported them all to you!
