When a headache isn't 'just a headache'

[Redline]

Just found out that I've been receiving a steady, daily dosage of Good Ol' Carbon Monoxide 5 days a week, 8 hours per day. Turns out that our heating system at my workplace has been giving it off since we've been using it (starting a few weeks back). I started getting some horrible headaches recently, but just chalked it up to stress and poor diet (read: two Monster drinks per day). Technician came into the shop today, to do a routine PM on the units (we have 2 office units, and 1 heating unit for each) and the unit that heats my area was leaking the good stuff. :

Of course, I'm the only one who actually got affected, because I'm in the same space for 8-9 hours per day, while my boss stays home, and my co-worker Michelle is out on medical leave. Yay me! O0

Some people pay $5.75 a pack to inhale that same stuff. Enjoy...

So when you start postin' all loopy we should call in the EMT's eh?

Something like that happened to me @ my job.

We have these "Treaters" that are like big open microwaves, essentially...

And of our 2 technicians that switch off, one of them is a complete LOVING moron....

So when I asked him, after the plant was running again after a vacation (when the whole plant was cleaned)

"What's that smell, that smells like frigging pool cleaner or something?"

He just replied "I dunno.." and walked off because he's a prick like that, and hates when someone my age is smarter than him.

Well, turns out the exhaust ventilation for the treater wasn't even on, and I was sitting there taking in straight fumes, talk about poisoning.

well just be thankful that it isn't your apartment that is getting the MonoXide
