Sci Fi Story

Missing 'Source'

Rate this Entry
What would you do if you were at work and someone said, "Hey, you haven't seen that radioactive source that was supposed to be over here, didja?" I mean really, would you look around, give a helping hand trying to locate the source, call it a day and hit the road?

I may have a low tolerance for inept coworkers, but I opted to skedaddle. Lets think about this. The best way to minimize my exposure to radiation is Time, Distance, and Shielding. I thought I'd increase my distance from the source. Letting my housing shield me, and hoping that they find it by the time I get back.

Oh well, maybe I should be looking for another job. On the other hand I've gotten a second short day at work...

    Goodness, B-Mental. What do you do that you come near radioactive material? I would have done the same thing. I'm leary of even x-ray machines at the airport.

    Haven't found it yet to my knowledge yet Night. Virgil I work as an exploration geologist. Oops, they found it. It was a paperwork error. Oh well, I still defend my hiding.
