no, i don’t work in a gas station

8 12 2004

Many of you who read this site are lucky enough to have not been to my place of employment before. I work in what I disaffectionately refer to as the “asshole of Indianapolis,” just a very ugly, often smelly part of town. A recent report by the Indianapolis Star said that the area I work in has something like three times the air pollution of the rest of the city. When taking people by my office, they often say something like, “You actually work over here?” Yes. Yes I do.

You might think that my actual office could be a sort of sanctuary from the ugliness that surrounds it, but you would be wrong. It’s really, really dirty in there, and no amount of cleaning will ever rectify the situation. The worst part, for me, is the bathroom that I’ve got to use. Words can’t accurately portray its grossness, so I took some pictures. There is also a shot in there of the wall in my office just to show how dirty it is in the building. I’m probably going to get Black Lung if I keep working here.

Chris, where is it exactly that you work? You are right it is dirty! and a little gross!:roll: I think you need to take some pre-med courses and become Dr. Chris!

It’s a construction/engineering company. Dr. Chris would be okay if it did not require sooooo much school.

I’m still waiting to see a picture of this chair of yours that I hear so much about

LoL!! Having worked for a construction company myself, I can relate…only we didn’t have a bathroom for months when I first started. We did all government contract work at the VA Hospital so we had to walk across the street to the hospital to use their bathroom. Planning ahead took on a whole new meaning….:shock:

Chris, you are so brave. My job is gross too. At least its temporary…which, in a way, so is yours. So that is the bright side.

Ew…Chris, I really don’t know how you do it. Sarah and I can relate with gross bathrooms…the rental car place in Tennessee when we were picking up the moving truck…If you could’ve seen that one, you wouldn’t feel so bad about this one. still, yuck.
