So yesterday morning I caused a chemical spill and knocked out 2 possibly 3 traffic lights in downtown Atlanta while at work. It was totally an accident and not due to any wrong doing or neglect on my part, but I think I'm in pretty deep shit at work.

I'm still not sure if they are going to fire me.

This is what happened. I was driving a cart that looked like this. (Tiny pic but it's all I could find that was accurate:


It's basicly this cart but with a white opaque drivers compartment:


I hit this:

An unprotected, not bolted down transforme box containing a drum of Transformer oil which ruptured and began to spill out all over the sidewalk and street.

The transformer took out the streetlights on W Peachtree and Spring connecting with Armstead.

Not only am I in deep shit with my bosses but the guys at work are making fun of me and life has just become total hell.

and to make matters worse...

I keep having to pick up USED sanitary napkins (IE bloody pads) because some woman is changing her pads behind the ornamental grasses on 4th and Williams street. FUCKING yuck!

How'd you hit the box? Did you just not see it, did you get distracted by something, were you trying to avoid hitting something else? What happened?

yeah I was trying to squeeze my cart between the green box in the middle of the sidewalk and the tree right next to it. I almost cleared it but the silver box on the back of the cart caught the transformer box by like a half inch. You can see the tree trunk in the photo.
