He's of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger.... he is pure air and fire; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him; he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts. ~William Shakespeare, Henry V

I WAS VIOLATED

Okay, so I may not have been physically violated, but my eye site sure was.

Hexagon, the hog barn where I work, is a bio hazard safe environment and all employees are required to shower upon entering the barn. It's not mandatory to shower out, but the general public appreciates it. Hexagon also employs a few older men who are pushing into their 70's.

See where this is going yet???

The last couple of weeks I have started arriving at Hexagon earlier than usual to help get some extra hours on my paycheck. On this particular day of arriving early at the barn, one of the older men was in the process of showering out to go check the newly purchased pigs in the quarantine barns located adjacent to the main barn. Just as I walked into to the barn to shower in for work, the man stepped out of his shower door in his tighty-whites to grab some Q-barn clothes in the cabinets across the hall from the shower doors because he forgot to grab some Q clothing when he came in. He let out a loud "WHOA!", and all I could say was "Jesus Paul!" and I turned around quickly and looked straight up at the ceiling so he could grab his clothes and get back in the shower. To make the situation worse, the barn manager happened to see it all through the pass-through cubby hole in the side of the wall that we use to push our lunches through to the other side of the barn. By lunch time, everyone knew what happened that morning.

After showering and punching in, I told the barn manager that Hexagon would pay for the life-long therapy I am going to have to receive after seeing that. He wiped away his tears and stopped laughing long enough to agree.

I swear I am going to wake up screaming until I die.

    I am a new blogger and I haven't a clue! My daughter got me started on this because I was always telling here some of the insane things that happen to me (or have happened to me in the past). So this summer she started me on blogspot.

    I just read this entry and laughed out loud...(reminds me of me). I like the way you have organized your spot and have read several others. You seem to have one excellent sense of humor and I enjoy the way you write. Will check on your blog regularly.
