Beware of nuclear fallout!


Yesterday at work we were fitted for respirators. The hospital's policy is that they must have on hand respirators for all employees in case of any type of pandemic. Once a year they fit us to be sure they have enough of each size so that everyone is covered.

To test the fit of the respirators they put this yellow bag on our head. They then pump a gas into the hood. If we pass out, then they know the respirator does not fit properly and they try a different size. I am only joking. The gas they pump into the bag is simply a sugary substance. If the mask does not fit snugly, we are apparently supposed to taste a sweet odor.

My boss, Rick, took this picture. Don't you think I look a bit like Sponge Bob?

Ha ha. I wish they did pump gas in to see if you passed out. That's pretty awesome...er...and I'm sure bad. Very Bad.

HAHA!!! Oh Jake, it looks like you work as hard as I do! I wish we did fun stuff like that at the credit union. We don't get any type of "tests", lame! Did your mask fit right? Did you taste the sweetness?!

P.S. I do see a slight similartiy between you and the Sponge Bob!

I will have to show this pic to my kids and see if they agree with your comparison! I see the similarities.

That is awesome. You could start a new trent. It's good to know that at least one Jensen will survive to carry on the name in the case of a pandemic. Why does it not surprise me that you of all people work at a place where masks like that are necessary? Hopefully it fit right, and hopefully you'll never have to use it.

Spongbob, my boys are going to love it. Uncle Jake twlights as Spongbob. I don't think it can get any better for the boys.

Jamie said...

Trend, not trent. Duh.

I'm ready for you to post some new material again. I loved seeing you while you were in town. I guess we'll start counting the days until Christmas.
