You know they love you at work if... You get to have a second day.... I am bored and about to go to work in about 2 hours! Write down your favorite war I mean work stories!!!
Was working as a lifeguard down at Moody Gardens in Galveston. Was at the bottom of the slides. Guard at the top sent down a little girl in one tube and a old man in the other. 5 seconds later te girl came out. No signs of the old man. 15seconds pass. This woman from the sidewalk watching her granddaughter and her husband (the little girl and the old man) yells "THATS MY HUSBAND STUCK IN THERE!!!" so i told the upper guard not to send anyone down. I had to climb up the tube to find the old man.....sleeping. Because he was shirtless his skin dragged on the slide enough to bring him to a stop and apparently he has that syndrome where you can fall asleep anytime.
Narcolepsy......while going down a water slide......awesome!!!!
Hahaha yea usually narcoleptics fall asleep at times of high emotion like fright or excitement. Lmao stuck in a water slide tho... Hahaha

Dont understand why you would even bring someone with Narcolepsy to a water park....Granted the deepest Palm Beach ever gets is like 5feet? Still....
I have so many great work stories. But HIPPA.....
Narcolepsy doesn't go well with watersports in general. Like waterskiing. 🏊🏄

Depends... Might not be so bad for a tandem or hop-n-pop.
I work as a lifeguard too, just gotta say, that would be freaky, then hilarious if that happened to me

Yeah, I have an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). 😷 We Jesters have to keep our diabolical schemes under wraps, you know.
I was in Iraq in 2005 near Baghdad. There was this small community close to the base that we drove through everyday of our patrols. We would stop at the end of a few day mission and give these people all the food and water that we did not eat. Our families would send gifts like clothes, shoes, and toys for us to hand out to the kids as well. Our attempt to get in their good graces paid off one day when a boy no older than 11 ran out in the middle of the road and flagged us down to stop. We stopped, pulled security, and my interpreter and I approached the boy to see what was up. He told us that some Ali Baba, bad guys, planted a bomb along the road just ahead. We called in EOD and they removed a roadside bomb big enough to wipe a up-armor humvee off the face of the earth. The morale to this truthful story is to treat people with respect and the favor will be returned.
Sounds like the kid saved urlife. Glad he did else we would have no Dr. Fuzzypants in our community

So im a jeweler and going to college atm to learn more about the trade but I think my favorite war story besides accidental tattooing is the time I was working late at night on a project and I was soldering a sheet of metal to a piece of wire and I was using a pair of tweazers to hold my piece while I heated it up, after I finished the solder I grabbed the tweazers which were still at a very high probably 500-800 degree temp and I heard a sizzling but it took me a good three seconds to realize that it was from my fingers grabbing the tweazers. So I yelled and quickly pulled my fingers away only to of course also remove skin that was now adhered to my tweazers. As you could imagine this hurt quite a bit and there was some swearing involved, then my girlfriend asked me what was wrong. I replied I burned myself and she said what can I do?! I yelled "burn cream!!! " she said I don't have any what can I get? And I yelled BURN CREAM!!!!!!
But there was no burn cream...
Then a month later my fingers were fine lol guess its probably not as funny for you guys as it was for me...
Curse you non-existant burn cream!!!!! *shakes fist in air*
Lol yes it's never there when you need it
