yeah so, my idiot co-worker cut a strap holding a multi-hundred pound metal column for a 12k pound capacity truck lift onto it's pallet on Tuesday, without checking the area first to make sure it was clear. if he even called out to let me know his intentions, i didnt hear it, and he never checked to make sure i or anyone else was out of the way heard it before cutting the strap...

...and having the damn lift column drop right onto my boot-laces of my left foot, missing the steel-toe entirely. my entire world was pain for a few minutes.

i wouldnt of even cut the strap like that in the first place, cause i wouldnt have wanted to let the lift column roll onto the ground like that, possibly damaging the concrete floor and the paint of the brand-new lift, but this idiot was rushing as far as i could tell after-the-fact, and it could have cost me my damn foot if i hadnt been lucky as fuck. his head hasnt been fully in the game for awhile, but i frankly dont give a shit about his personal family problems or whatever the fuck else is going on to distract him, i dont need his fucking negligence making me sit out of work for a few days cause his damn head wasnt in the fucking game.

worked through the day out of sheer fury and stubborness cause the job had to get done that day, and honestly, because focusing on the job made it easier to focus on NOT punching the idiot who did this to me in the fucking face... so limped around all day like the psychotic workaholic moron that i am and got it all done.

but this morning my foot still hurt like a bastard and was swollen like a damn grapefruit, so i relented and went to the hospital to get it x-rayed.

no broken bones or fractures, it landed just right to make my entire left foot into a bruise basically, but no breaks. still was ordered not to walk on it and i'm popping tylenol like fucking pez, and i cant wear any of my shoes except for this one old destroyed pair that's wide enough for the swollen top of my foot with the laces pulled out. walking on it without limping noticably to avoid the swollen parts hurts like a motherfucker though...

at least this shit is what workman's comp is for, if i had to rely on my own insurance for even just an xray, i'd be out some seroius money i'll bet. and i'll only be out of work until the swelling goes down enough where i can walk and lift things again. but still, this shit shouldnt have happened in the damn first place...

i'm okay, but i'm pissed off, this is NOT how i wanted to take some days off... sorry about the ranting i just needed to get this off my chest...
