Your Friday the 13th Disasters
 

I can't be alone here with having something abruptly start your morning off wrong in true superstitious 13th style. This morning as I prepared for a store meeting I was going to host at the Dairy Queen I work at I get a phone call from my boss which changes everything. Apparently a copper tubing in the walk-in cooler popped off during the night and proceeded to dump a substantial amount of water across the entire building. I spent my morning hopelessly wading through two to three inches of water chipping away with a mop.

Please tell your stories of having your non-believer (or believer) self turned on your head by superstitious mumbo-jumbo.

My sandwich at lunch had a lot of mayo in it. Kinda messy.

It may be messy, but it contributes nicely to your overall mass.

Actually, i was walking and stepped on a crack. My back now hurts.

I drank alot! Its was fun and very much a good time .... Boom

Protein makes my brain grow, after all.

Meningitis is not something to be proud of.

read my thread, that was my friday the 13th

The one with the edited first post that is really confusing?

Edit: I see now, my condolences.

Well, I live in NJ, so the 13th didn't fall on a Friday this October for us.

I was here at work and had all of my stuff ready to load into a furnace(I work with Ceramics). I was up in the lab, knocked a ~18inch lab thermometer off of a desk and it shattered on the floor getting mercury everywhere. So I spent the rest of the night trying to figure out what to do with the mercury, trying to clean it up, talking to my supervisor, and calling the safety and health manager. I couldn't get the furnace loaded because I ran out of time(I originally had about 2 hours left, takes 1-2 hours to load a furnace.) Since it was a friday I really needed to get the furnace loaded, because next chance I would get was monday and we try to get furnaces running as soon as possible(they run a 2 week cycle, so we don't like to just take our time getting them loaded, that night effectively added 3 days onto that 2 week cycle.)

Mercury sure is fun stuff though.


I don't get it.

Do you use the Discordian calendar?

No, I use the Earth calendar. You two are just too stupid to understand the oppression NJ-ites have gone through since the start of Y2K. :(

I doubt I'm too stupid to understand it, just not informed.

Oppression?

It's no longer the 13th, but I recently had my car impounded, which was fucking awesome. Spent today going to Town Hall, RMV, Insurance Agency, another City Hall, then back to the RMV, and now I still have to go to the fucking Impound Lot and get my goddamn car back. Worst. Day. Ever.

Why was it impounded?

Expired plates. I switched insurance companies in september and so my car was re-registered. However, the RMV didn't renew my registration when they did this, despite my registration expiring 10 days later. So my car was technically unregistered when the cop pulled me over, which is a big no-no. So he towed my fucking car, from the highway, at 1am. Fucking delightful.

Well I hope you went into the local RMV office with a firebomb.

Let's not make his troubles worse now.
