After all the tumult with my last employer I was shocked to receive an email inviting me to attend a technical conference that I used to present at (almost) every year. They also offered to pay my way.
For real?????
Yeah.
They better put me in a suite. With a free bottle of wine.

does an explosion count as a "facility mishap"?
I'm obviously not going to win any physics awards today. My excuse - I'm taking dayquil.
I was just washing my tea cup thing. I filled it with soap and water, put the lid on, and shook it pretty rigorously (my tea bag exploded and the inside of the cup was covered with tea leaves).
When I opened the top drinking thing to pour the water and soap out the contents of the cup exploded. Like shaking a coke can and then opening it. I will note the top of the cup DOES have a vent hole so I didn't expect it to explode.
And, I know this sounds made up but it's true, I just happened to be looking at this when the explosion happened:
Anyway, if you happen to have a friend you like to play jokes on, and a cup like the one pictured above (it doesn't have to be pink)...go for it. I'd suggest telling them it's a fresh brewed cup of what ever they like to drink. Make sure you are standing at least 5 feet away before they open it.
This, btw, is not my first explosion at work. There was my cake stealer explosion and my hot dog explosion. Once my dad's office building exploded while he was driving to pick me up at the airport.
And here is a very short history on explosives that I wrote to prove to a friend that a video he sent of guys surfing in a river was fake and not a result of preset charges in aforementioned river.

| This is after I cleaned most of the explosion up. I opened the DECAF cabinet and more soap came out. |

my mom has a pet owl
My dad said the owl is really big.

| Close up. I bet he can eat a lot of rodents. Hopefully some snakes too. |
