I’m terrible. I have a bad post. Not a badpost, just a post about some bad stuff.
I am currently waiting at a dr office after getting vaccinations. I was exposed to a rather large sewage spill at work because my apprentice made a boneheaded mistake and removed my LOTO on a grinder pump and powered it on while I was working on the pump outlet. I expect to get pretty sick in the next day or two once everything I was exposed to takes hold. I got a tetanus booster, Hep A/B starter vaccination, an antibiotic injection, and two prescriptions for antibiotics and anti parasitic meds.
Not the badpost you were expecting, but a bad post all the same I think. Also, I had beans in burrito form yesterday so I am bean.
I was working on a sewage grinder pump for a 100 unit complex yesterday. I had the pump locked out and tagged out, I was working with it open and running an inspection camera to look at impeller blade damage with my hands inside the impeller outlet. My apprentice unlocked and powered the pump on while I was on top of it. It had a fair bit of untreated sewage inside the housing still and when it got turned on it flung said raw sewage, now nicely ground up into small manageable pieces, directly into my face, overalls, hair, down my shirt, and partially open mouth as I was talking to another apprentice to grab me some tools.
I spent the rest of yesterday getting multiple vaccinations, and filling prescriptions preemptively as the doctor I saw expects me to get ill from this. It’s almost 8am the day after and I am already feeling pretty bad so the dr was right, it seems.
Yeah, he got the talking to of the century. Owner wanted to fire him on the spot. I got him to not do that, instead he got sent home early today.
I think I got really lucky. I was fishing around w my hand near the impeller about ten min before that with a small inspection camera. If the pump had been kicked on it very likely would have lopped off multiple fingers, if not my fingers and half my palm. The pump is intended to grind up sewage and push it uphill, It would have had zero problems removing my hand from my wrist.
The bean burrito probably kept me from losing my fingers preemptively.

Yesterday was a shitty day for me pun intended.
What a crappy situation to be in ☹️. I hope you don’t get too unwell from this and recover quickly

Jesus… did they get a serious rebuke?
Hope that it’s nothing major, and that the curative bean burrito does its job.

So basically there was a tag on it saying “do not operate” and he still did? Smooth brain
Ouch hoping you don’t get sick
Christ that’s the stuff of nightmares
Feel bad for the apprentice too what a fuck up
