I went to school for this

Ever thought to yourself I wonder where my poo goes when I flush the toilet? Well I know because I work at a poo pond! They are doing some upgrades with some of the Obama money and the company I work for got the contract so I get to spend eight hours a day at a poo pond. It is pretty interesting to see how it all works. I thought that more went into making poo water safe before they turn in back into the lake but that's not the case. It by far is not the most high-tec place I have ever worked at but interesting never the less. All they really do is punp air into the poo water to make the bacteria break down the poo so it takes air and time and then it sends it back into the local lake. When it is really foggy and you walk threw the mist you can't help but think to yourself is this poo mist I'm walking through? The other day a big tractor trailer came to the job to deliver some electrical gear to me and he almost rolled his rig into the poo water! They had to bring out an even bigger truck to get him unstuck, that was an eventful day at the poo ponds! We are digging a trench that's about 1500 feet long in a part of the plant that hasn't had any poo water in in for about 20 years but we still dig up certain things, without going into too much detail there are two major things that don't decompose one is something a lady would use once a month or so, and the other is something a male would use after some romantic time if he was being safe. The crazy part about all this is that I thought I went to school so that I wouldn't have to work a job dealing with this stuff. I was mislead. The plus side is that it is a quiet job I usually cant hear myself think in most of the places we work in. I also get to see a lot of nature, the job is in the middle of nowhere because the people that live in the town don't wana smell their poo (smart people).

I don't know why I felt the need to share this with every one, perhaps it is because the fun of grossing out my wife with tales of the poo pond has grown dull for now so I needed a fresh audience . I have even gone so far as to show her the video if us throwing rocks into the 6 inches of poo after they drained the pond. The reaction I received from that I wasn't sure how to read, Was it disgust at the poo splashing 10 feet in the air or was it disgust at the fact that her new husband gets a thrill out of throwing rocks in to other peoples poo. In my defense I am still a kid at heart and I believe any boy would not pass up such a chance of a life time, and then to show it to a girl and gross them out!! that's PRICELESS!! That's about all I have to tell you about the poo ponds I hope you enjoyed reading this small story about where your poo goes and how a college education doesn't always save you from a CRAPPY job……. HA!
