how dangeroos is your job?

I'm alright i'm vaccinated against most of the stuff i work with, it's those around me that should be concerned.

Well seeing as this is an SV forum, not a toyota celica forum, I bet the commute is the most dangerous aspect of peoples jobs here.

I guess when I graduate and become a doc(hopefully) the danger of getting it wrong will be more dangerous for the poor sod on the bed

In between the high voltage mains, DC battery rooms, big UPS', raised floors, automatic gas release fire suppression systems, free standing 7ft cabinets full of computers, enough cabling to circle the moon, and the fricking lazers I'm doing fairly well. I've been locked in changes, trapped under a raised floor and gassed once.

However, the real danger in my job is taking a day out of the office. Working with 2 co-workers who are as technical and devious as me, pranks in the office are taken to a new level.

One current project on the drawing board is installing a car coil into a coworkers chair, so we can tazer him on demand...

My biggest risks are getting hit by a cricket ball during practice sessions when the lads do tend to aim for me to watch me try and leap out of the way in high heels. Or choking to death on a slice of cake during the tea interval.
