Hi, everypony. Today I had the worst day ever at work. I set off the smoke alarm and may have poisoned one of the kids I work with. And it's all due to my own bad judgement. :(

@lilytheamazingfaintingpony OH NOES!!!! :(

@lilytheamazingfaintingpony Oh no! Hope everything will be okay. D:

@pinhooves @stumperman07 Yeah, well, the poisoning part is not very likely, but still... Like my bio says, I work with special needs kids. So today I was put in charge of a girl with multiple handicaps, she's wheelchair-bound, can't speak, can barely move her arms. She has a really expressive face though, I like working with her because she is so easy to read. Anyway, moving on with my story: we were making apple and raisin jelly, and were going to start cooking it. I was going to put something away in another room, but before I left, I decided to put the cooking top on so it would be warm when I come back(we cook on electric cooking tops here, they are very slow). That was my first crucial mistake, leaving the room with a heating cooking top and a helpless kid in the room. I know better than this. So I went out of the room, but then I got sidetracked, and a thirty second absence became three, maybe four minutes long. When I got back the room was covered in smoke.

@lilytheamazingfaintingpony I hope she's alright. It would be bad if she wasn't. :c

@stumperman07 No, but I stayed in character by freaking the cherries out. I guess the obly thing laking was me saying "the horror".

@lilytheamazingfaintingpony I had accdentally turned on the wrong heating element, and on that element I had placed a very big plastic lid, which had of course melted away, with the kid in the room. So I do the axact wring thing you do in these situations: I f***ing panicked. I start pouring water over the entire mess, which of course became steam, and that's how I set off the smoke alarm. Not just for the room, but for the entire school. Only then did I turn off the cooking top and open the window, stupid me. But my bad judgments had only begun: I then went into the hallway to tell everyone what had happened, WITHOUT TAKING THE KID WITH ME, LEAVING HER IN THE ROOM TO BREATHE TOXIC SMOKE. :( It's only after telling the teacher in the next classroom that I came back and took the kid with me outside. Poor girl. :( I'm guiltridden and shameful over it all. After work, I was in such an emotional turmoil that I just went nuts binge eating.

@lilytheamazingfaintingpony Oh, no! :( That all sounds awful! How is the girl doing? And we all have our really, REALLY bad days. I'm sorry that today seems to be yours. :(

@astra luckily, she seemed unfazed, a little but she didn't even cough. She knows a few elements of sign language and kept signalling "I'm thirsty" for the next hour, though.
-
@lilytheamazingfaintingpony Well, that much is REALLY good to hear, then. An embarrassing situation, to be sure, and one from which to learn, but it could have been a LOT worse.

@lilytheamazingfaintingpony The smoke shouldn't be deadly or poisonous by any means if I'm correct. I think she should be fine.
