Why today is such a great day:
All CSE employees,
A recent occurrence in CSE resulted in an ORPS category 2 report. The incident was related to replacing the plug on a power cord. See below:
Argonne National Laboratory, 200 Area
SC—ASO-ANLE-ANLEES-2009-0008 - Employee Received Electrical Shock When Energizing Vacuum Pump – (Significance Category 2)
On December 4, 2009, while attempting to depress the power switch to a glovebox vacuum pump, an employee received an electrical shock to his right 4th finger, which he described as a continuous impulse with tingling in his finger immediately afterwards. The employee was transported to medical, evaluated and released by medical department with no restrictions on the same day. The power cord to the vacuum pump had just been modified from a 120-volt to a 208-volt receptacle by a Qualified Electrical Worker in support of a change to the source of power for the vacuum pump. The power to the vacuum pump was de-energized and locking devices were applied to prevent the equipment from becoming re-energized and used. An investigation team has been chartered to investigate this incident. Another pump that is configured identical to the one that caused the shock was inspected and found to be wired correctly.
Are you kidding me?…only today.

— Matthew Bentel. Honestly, some days are just amazing. Go to work a half hour late, ditch work for an hour and a half to hang out with a friend, listen to music and write this, something amazing to open up in your ‘emailbox’. Today, I wish, were everyday.
That’s the time of the sunrise this morning. I’m going to watch it. I’m still up. I’m afraid it’s going to be that type of month again.
I never have anything to say. Here’s Mogwai.
R U Still In 2 It
Are you still into it? ‘cause I’m still into it.
We haven’t had sore bits for about a fortnight.
Am I your only one? ‘Cause you’re still my only one.
But if you need more, I’ll just do it in some, right.
We should go into town and spend some money.
We could go to the pictures and see something funny.
We’d share a popcorn and we can go to the pub at night.
We can get right tanked up and go home and have a fight.
Will you still miss me, when I’m gone?
Is there love there, even when I’m wrong?
Will you still kiss me, if you find out?
I will now leave here but don’t follow me.
We could go into town and spend some money.
We could go to the pictures, go and see something funny.
Share a popcorn and when it’s finished we could go to the pub at
night.
And get really pissed and go home and have a fight.
Will you miss me, when I’m gone?
Is there love there, even when I’m wrong?
Will you still kiss me, if you find out?
I will leave you and I will miss you.
I feel, Miss, I’m succeeding.
I told someone for the first time ever, honestly and sincerely. My voice quivered, my hands shook. Just like that time in the hall, where I was doing anything to stall.
Two years. It took me two years.
I can safely say, I wouldn’t be who I am today, without you there standing in my way. Thank you, so much. Maybe one day we can talk.
A friend once told me, “How ever long you were together, it’ll take twice as long to get over.”
Two years.
(It’s not like anyone cares.)
I’m still here.
And I’m not going anywhere.
Twenty years old.
Soon to be twenty-two.
I’m growing older everyday.
But I’m growing farther away from you.
Don’t worry, you’ll know where to find me.
I’m not going anywhere, I’m staying at home.
I still haven’t realized its not me you need.
But I just wish I wasn’t going at this alone.
