almost accident with acid

 Evening

Thanks to my selfish nerd, my slumber was disturbed when he selfishly came to bed after he'd finished gaming, honestly. So I ended up getting up with him at 11pm and had to take some pain killers >.>

It made things easier this morning not having to drop Oz off but it did feel weird not having him here, i prefer having him here to drop off certainly.

We got to school and we met Julia in the hall talking to the dept head, stood round was around 15 members of staff. Jack pointed out to the dept head that for the last 10mins a student in the room hasnt had his mask on....bodes well doesnt it when over 15 members of staff are in a room with 10 children and no one can spot the one child not wearing a mask for 10 mins. I couldnt see them from where I was stood.

But yeah Jack is still not happy about it all and thinks the school are operating illegally by forcing us to come into school to ether supervise children or test them for covid. He has asked for it to be in writing and then he will take the letter to his union....julia understands where jack is coming from but feels resigned to her fate as it were. Me, well I think for the sake of a few weeks and 2 days per week, im just gonna get on with it. There's like 10 kids in a classroom all sat away from you, i feel like i have just as much chance from catching covid from my weekly shop :/ besides when we come into school we can have covid tests if we like and the kids are tested every week without fail so theyre probably a lot more safer to be around than the people at our weekly shop! I just hope I have something to be getting on with as a lot my job doesnt really revolve around computer work or class room work so i really hope i can be getting on with something! just take my sketch book and paints in and pray to some god i have something to do! something creative!!!

So today we continued with chemical stock take and chemical make up

i was continuing with the acids, 2 of which i had worked with on wednesday

but a 3rd - Nitric Acid was new to today

Jack got it out the acids cupboard for me and placed it in a tray

later on in the afternoon when I got round to Nitric Acid I picked it up by the neck of the plastic bottle and placed it into the fume cupboard. I unscrewed the top then gripped the bottle to pick it up thats when I noticed that the usual hard plastic bottle containing the concentrated acid had perished. It felt soft whereas the plastic is usually hard it also then cracked...leaking acid all down my fingers. My god I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad I had gloves on otherwise i would be down the emergency room right now. I just turned to Jack in shock who was several tables behind me

"Jack quick, something is wrong! it's not right!"

he came running over

"what? what?" saw the liquid oozing out the bottle over my hand "shit"

we threw a lot of cat litter down which is great at absorbing liquid chemical and i threw my gloves away. The chemical had even gone a yellow colour whereas i only know it to be colourless. 

What surprised me most was that it was a brand new, never opened bottle. And it had gone like that. We transferred the acid into a glass bottle. Jack told me to leave acids for the day it was 2:30pm and after that shock and drama i was happy to leave it there. So i went to go talk to hannah and luke for half hour til jack finished his stock take for the day.

I dropped jack off home and went to mummy's for a cup of tea, a homemade cookie or two, a sit with the sows who had been bathed so were nice fluffy and soft, and to pick up my lad.

I got back home and did some chores whilst matt was finishing up for the day and then had a bath as i stunk of chemical and acid :/ also I hadnt bathed since last night so felt ready for a scrub

jack had a bath, we did dinner which of course gave me stomach ache. I did 25mins of yoga after we had sat with Oz in the living room. He just wanted us for food, that damn rabbit, hes so over weight >.> 

its 10pm! i had no idea of the time, probably have hot chocolate and watch inuyasha and go to bed

tomorrow no real plans

might dance, might start my dressing table, yeah just see how the day goes really~
