Below is an e-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to radio station 103.2 FM in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest. Needless to say, she won:

 

Hi Sue,

 

Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother.

 

Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all .

 

Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job.

 

As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wet suit.

 

This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment that sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a  temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose.

 

Now, this all sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints.

 

What I do when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wet suit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's fantastic...it's like working in a Jacuzzi.
