Today at work
Okay all. I'm not writing today. It's been another really hard day, and hopefully Misty, my family's little gray cat will come back from the vet all fully healed; she's been in for the last two days for surgery, and hopefully she'll be as good as new in the coming weeks. Anyhow, a little of work...
Nitric acid, as you may or may not know, is HNO3. It's harmful to skin if left of for a little while, and may even turn them orange and eat through it. My job was to neutralize the nitric acid with baking soda, or sodium carbonate, Na2CO3. This was a chemical equation where the product was mustard gas, or chlorine gas. When you mix the two compounds together, you immediately see an orange haze erupt from the bubbling substance. Now, it's was at this point in the day where I was told if I get any effects of the mustard gas, sore throat, light-headed, or just sick, to go home and lay down. Luckily, this didn't happen till the end of the day, so I didn't miss any work, but let me tell you, if you were in World War 2, and you being gased, you were 100% fucked. And secondly, it's time to call the crayola company and make a new crayon. I'm gonna see if they'll accept anopther color in their box of 1,000,000 crayons or whatever it is, called either mustard gas, yeah, I know, real original, or fatal orange. I'm telling you, this was the most intense orange I have ever seen. It's like, if you take the intesnisty of like hot pink, and put it to orange, it was rather sickening. It just looks like it could kill you. Anyhow, this is one of those days of work whn my mom comes home and asks me what I did today, I tell her something made up. She flipped the last time I told her I was x-raying planes on crystals. She was like, you're gonna die young, stop. And I was like, the guys at work said that the worst thing that could happen was that I could get some sort of cancer, nothing bad. (Sarcasm of course.) Anyhow, I;m off to lay down, because that stuff will knock you on your butt. And I pray I'll get up tomorrow morning. So have a good one all, and as a word to the wise, stay away from mustard gas. Take care.
