Working in a Ballistic Lab

If anyone is wondering what it's like to work in a Ballistic Lab, let me tell you. . . You're working away minding your own business, when all of a sudden you hear "Fire in the hole!". That means drop everything (and I mean everything! Paperwork, cup of water, toilet paper.....) and put your fingers in your ears as hard as you can so your eardrums don't get blown out. And if you aren't fast enough or dont hear the warning BANG you just might fall out of your chair and mabey even wet yourself a little, not to mention the killer headache. What are they shooting you may ask? A 20mm that's what. BANG! Anyone looking for a new job?? I know one that will be opening up pretty soon!

Correction: I said I was "working away", which isn't true. I should have said blogging away.

It sounds like we work under similar conditions. Although, Paige never gives me the "fire in the hole" warning before she lets out her blood-curling scream.
