As a supporting engineer at a nuclear waste facility, sometimes I have dull days.
The person on the other side of the high cubicle wall from me was on the phone trying to order a part. He is an older gentleman, and can at times be a bit loud. What I heard was this
“I need a female swivel”
“No a male swivel won’t do it for me”
“No, it can’t be two female couplings, or a standard male to female union”
“It could be a female coupling and two male swivels, but that might make it to big”
“Yes, a single female swivel is what I need.”
Best one sided conversation I've heard in weeks.
If there's an in-house newsletter, you could run Lamontius's interpretation as a "looking for" type ad. People could probably use the laugh.

LET ME OUT!

Next up on the "Overheard at the Nuclear Waste Office" Thread:
"Hey... is that barrel supposed to be moving on it's own?"
hahaha, I've got to tell you something
We are dealing with over 90,000 buried drums (we've unburied most of them, there are still a lot left and the unburied ones were moved to Storage Buildings), but...
All except for one (I'm not kidding, one barrel out of 90,000) when it was uncovered we had to shut down, send everybody home, and a team from the FBI and the DOE came to our facility and "took custody" of that barrel, moved to a vault in one of the very special buildings on this site, where it remained for five years, until one night when the FBI came and took it away.
NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED OF, CITIZEN. MAINTAIN DAILY OPERATIONAL PROTOCOLS. GLORY TO THE MANY.

That was the one that contained a sample of Elerium-115?
That was the barrel from Area 51...

Wait, they came and "took custody" of it, and then let it just sit there for five years?! What was in it, the Scotch from someone's desk drawer at TMI?

not really sure, but I understand it came from Rocky Flats in Colorodo, originally, was burried for 30 years, and left here (after it was unburied) for 5 years while a new "home" was created for it.
So that's probably where Jimmy Hoffa got to. The feds were in on it all along and have just been passing the body around ever since.

Make sure thats legal in your state...
I used to sell female swivels, male to female unions etc... Pipe fittings have funny names.
I've actually had a great laugh with a plumber about those.

If rogue radioactive BARREL #45690836-56 were to bite you, do you think you'd develop barrel powers?
Question: Why doesn't every mutant in the marvel universe deliberately get bitten by a radioactive chinchillia or something? Those heroes seem to be well received.

Ah, Rocky Flats. One of the greatest cleanup efforts the DOE has ever done. I've heard stories about that place. Among other things, it supposedly never should have been where it was, and it'd likely still exist if not for some higher-up's inability to read a windrose. See, it was supposed to be downwind of Denver, so if they ever had problems machining...plutonium...metal (which is what they did at Rocky Flats)--and by "problems" I mean "fires," because plutonium metal fines are pyrophoric--the smoke wouldn't, you know, irradiate Denver. But when it came time to site it, the person who made the final decision put it in a location *upwind* of Denver. And one day they had a little fire, and a very small but detectable amount of plutonium showed up in downtown Denver.
And that was it for Rocky Flats. The Army's chemical weapons disposal facility is still going strong, but the Army brass knew how to read a windrose, so they're downwind of Denver and no one thinks about them.

If you do have a problem, feel free to post on here and pm me your lat/long coordinates. I'll be there in a jiffy

Nah, you'd just die of radiation poisoning before you developed the brain cancer that made you think you'd developed barrel powers.
Vault 87 and The Capital Wasteland wants to talk to you.
what is going on here
Nothing! Nothing to see here. These aren't the droids you're looking for, and there are no radioactive chinchillas in the area. We can go about our business.
