Birthday weekend sucked
16 years ago
General
Wow, place to type I forgot about months and months ago.
So. This weekend was my birthday. Plan was to work Friday night, have a nice relaxing day off Saturday, go to the state fair with Dook, Spike, Kyo, Rekkie and the rest, and have another day off today.
Well.
Friday, shortly after clocking into work, I was involved in an... accident. The equipment room at this new store keeps their walkie-talkies and PDAs in a cabinet that used to stand vertically, but is now mounted horizontally. When you get equipment, you have to lift the door up and push it back to hold it in place. It's not secured.
Nor was it secured when I went to get my equipment. The door swung down and beaned me right in the temple. There were stars, there were a few minutes of shock. Then when I started feeling sleepy they made me clock out and get checked out at the clinic. It was a mild concussion. Rx-grade Aleve and some bedrest.
The bedrest confined me through Saturday, where I conferred with Spike and decided it wasn't a good idea for me to go to the fair on Sunday, either. Areku and his friend went off to the AFM meet, then stayed over at another friend's for another few hours. That left me all alone in the apartment on my birthday with nothing to do, nowhere to go.
Areku said he'd buy me a fish dinner from Long Johns to sorta make up for how crappy the weekend went. They gave him a chicken dinner instead. I was kinda blinded with self-pity for about a half hour after that.
Oh well, c'est la vie I guess. Funny bounce of the ball... that landed in the spigot, rolled through the pipe, hit the cup that flipped the man into the bathtub, which jostled the pole which brought the trap down on me.
The only thing that made yesterday bearable was Tyler. He kept me company on IM most of the day and that's just the kinda guy he is. That's why I... will likely change my status/intro on this page by this time next month. <3
Spike and Kyo are gonna take me out tonight for a belated celebration. Elle has said he will take me out as well later this month. Better late than never. I've had a lot of nevers so I know it'll be better late.

Seems like that unsecured cabinet door is total lawsuit fodder.
Wish I could of made it better, like the party I gave you last year. I'm sorry.
