Shaun and the "Dream Underwear"

Alright... the day started out crappy. I basically got reamed out at work by a coworker but he didn't actually use my name. Just made it obvious it was me. Now... I'm the guy that pretty well gets along with everyone and is a mediator between this idiot and our boss. So I usually do this guy a lot of favours... but for some reason, he got it into his head to attack me this morning. I won't get into details because then I would have to explain my job which would just take too damn long. Anyways... I was all raring to go at his throat this morning. I had a thousand lines for him and could have pointed out how lazy he was and etc.... but I didn't. I just sat there and took it. And I'm not sure why. I guess I'm just getting tired of always having to defend myself and the things that I do to some people. Not to toot my own horn or anything but I know for a fact that this multi-million dollar (closer to Billion dollar if you take into account that we could have shut down the plants for good) would never have happened without my contributions. And that SHOULD make me feel great. But it doesn't. For some reason, knowing a person thinks I'm not working up to expectations just rubs me the wrong way. So I guess I didn't push back because I know I could never change the persons' mind afterwards. Stupid logic I know.

Anyways... onto the story about the Dream Underwear.

I got changed into my radiation clothing after lunch. This includes underwear. Anyways... I was in a rush and just pulled it out of the bin not really looking at it. I put it on, then my coveralls and run out to the crane. On the way, I could feel the underwear slide around a lot... they were REALLY loose. I just assumed it was someone's Dream Underwear... IE. they dreamt they could fit into it and stretched the elastic until it was nearly non-existent. SOOO... they are REALLY loose on me. By the time I get into the crane, the damn things had nearly slid down to my one knee under my coveralls. So I figured... "NUTS TO THIS". So while I was in the crane which is 80 feet up, and no one was watching, I unzipped and was able to remove them without even taking off my coveralls! Whoever dreamt they could fit into them was ONE FAT BASTARD!. So i spent the rest of the afternoon going commando in coveralls. And let me tell you something... the inside of a zipper on a pair of radiation coveralls is SHARP.

There... that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
