Now repeat after me. Anything that can go wrong, WILL.
Well, I got a urinator and thought I'd use it even though another method worked in the past.
I don't like the pouch that it comes with, its a little bulky so I used an ace bandage to wrap it to my inner thigh. The profile worked much better, since I was wearing a nice fitting suit.
I did plenty of practice and found that I could easily maintain 96 degrees, and that was before using the batteries for the heat pad.
So I'm in the middle of some of the best interviews I've had in my life(they test on-site so I had to be ready). I'm all ready to go, and I'm invited by one of my interviewers to go get a drink.
On the walk back it happened.
In 1 second, my ace bandage slid down my leg and draped around my dress shoe. Luckily the urinator stuck to my leg so it stayed put, but I'm still faced with an ace bandage around my shoe. As I'm bending over to trying to stuff it up my pantleg, my escort turns around and looks at me. Luckily (either he didn't see, or didn't want to see) he walked back into the meeting room without me. I was able to tuck the ace into my sock, but I now have gravity pulling on the urinator. We had just stopped at the bathroom so a trip 200 feet down the hallway was out of question. I had to go back into the meeting room knowing that any second this thing could drop out onto the floor, in a room full of people. I walk back in the room, seemingly playing pocket pool trying to keep it from falling. I then proceeded to complete a shotgun interview, while wondering how in the hell am I gonna get out of this.
If the employer wanted to know how I worked under pressure, they were getting the full treatment and didn't even know it. :D
I continued to kick butt on the interviews, and got an escort to the bathroom about an hour later. After locking myself in a stall, I was able to get everything back into its proper place.
To make a long story short, I must have made quite an impression cause I was offered the job.
So while I was laughing for the 3 hour trip home. I remembered that beforehand I thought I should use overkill and duct tape it to my thigh. I talked myself out of it since I'd practiced many time without any problems.
So people, the moral of this story is... Never second guess yourself if you think that you should use a little duct tape. It may cost you a little hair off your thigh. But may save you from extreme embarrassment.
But for me, I'll always have this memory.
And now, you will too!
Peace
