We knew it was only a matter of time before I'd be filing an injury report. I fell victim to a slip-and-fall accident at work on the 28th and am out on worker's compensation leave indefinitely.
The old back woes flared up again - this is the fourth time it's acted up in five years, and the second time due to the slip & fall. In this instance, thank goodness my right arm braced the cart I nearly slid under, because otherwise I would have slid totally under, and it could have rolled over me.
Pardon me for saying, but these injuries have a childish theme about them, at least from the stance of considering my education. I once worked with government people, and now I'm sliding in the ice underneath bag carts?
Maybe the break will be good. The company is in the midst of its semi-monthly panic about staffing levels, and I'm glad some of those concerns will pass me by.
My next update will likely be on the 9th of next month, as cited below when the internet originally crashed. I did not expect my back to crash with it -- therefore it will limit my mobility further, so Kinko's will be out of the question.
The running gag in the house is that Steve has a black cloud about him that he gives to everyone around him. All I've gotten since he's left has been a snowstorm.
