Woohoo!

Just found my aircast! *user does dance of joy* It took me forever and a day, but I found it. Now I don't have to even think about emergency rooms. *user squeals happily*

(And [livejournal.com profile] fallofrain, I know what you're thinking. I've been to the emergency room for this stupid ankle three times since I twisted it the first time and every damn time, it's been aircast-and-ice. So I just saved us both a trip. ;))

That doesn't count! It's not the same thing!

Yeah, but I didn't mention the three other times over the years that I sprained or twisted my ankle where I didn't go to the emergency room, did the exact same thing, and it worked like a charm. (Granted, for varying lengths of recuperative time, but *still*.)

If there's one thing I can be grateful for about my bum ankle, it's that inevitably, all it needs is the aircast-and-ice remedy. That's why I don't spend more time in emergency rooms. (I will still probably skip out on work tonight, though. But, hey, can you really blame me for wanting to?)

You probably should skip out on work. Don't you be telling Mark I encouraged you though! ;)

Of course, I've been skipping out on work for awhile. And I will continue to. I'm out till at least the first of July.

Eh, Mark saw me gimping around the place last night. Not to mention that Tom was right there when I did it and saw how it was starting to swell when I left. At least I've got a good excuse to skip out and witnesses to go with it. :)

Did it happen at work? If it did, you need to go fill out an accident report, dearie.

[identity profile] apocalypsos.livejournal.com 2003-06-23 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. I didn't get to do it last night, so if I skip out tonight, I'm probably going to have to wait until tomorrow. Grrr. (I can still do that, right? Don't mind me, I'm in the middle of stupid questions hour, apparently.)

Argh ... you know, it'd be real nice if OotP had bothered to show up today. At least I would have had new Harry Potter to play with. *sigh*

You have a window of 24 hours in which to get the paperwork filled out.

[identity profile] apocalypsos.livejournal.com 2003-06-23 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if my ankle's good to go at nine, I'll go in and fill out paperwork. If not, fuck it.

Can you tell I'm not in the best of moods? Maybe it's because there's a '97 Chevy Cavelier sitting in the driveway and it's my brother's new car.

Grrrrrrr. If I ask nice, do you think I could get someone come to my house and blow up Paco so that maybe I could get a new car, too?

[identity profile] fallofrain.livejournal.com 2003-06-23 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
How'd your brother get a nice new car, anyway?

And if you don't go in, I'm tempted to recruit you for doc's appointment tomorrow. ;)

Because his first car was a leaky $600 POS, that's why. *sigh* Just for this, Fate definitely owes me or someone I know the Powerball jackpot on Wednesday night. Preferably someone who will pay off my bills, buy me a new car, and ship my sorry ass off to VA to my writer's group.

And maybe buy me a James Marsters clone.

Hate to jump on the "you should have it checked out" bandwagon, but sweetie, if it keeps goin' out on you like this, maybe there's something wrong with it?

Don't make me get the nag and have her beat you senseless with frozen seafood.

*grumblegrumble* I probably will. Like I said, I'm just not in the best of moods today. (Sprained ankle ... kid's got a new car ... sick of being so incredibly, horribly broke ... argh, troll smash ...) I don't think it's the nicest thing to do to any ER doctor to inflict me on him tonight.

Personally, and I'm not just saying this because I don't like being fussed over and I don't like hospitals, I don't think there's something wrong with it so much as I'm just a great big klutz and it's merely my body part of choice. Well, that and my back, but I only save throwing out my back for the wintertime. In the summer, I twist my ankle so that this way, I can still tan and the guys will fawn all over helpless little me. *user bats her eyelashes innocently*

Ello' Missed ya last night

[identity profile] digitalodyssey.livejournal.com 2003-06-24 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
You were a gimp the other night.

Albiet, it was really funny when you told me it was asleep when you stood up on it. I agree with Rain, and Alchemy you should have gone to have it checked out.

Now that it's two days after the fact, ya can't. So hopefully we'll see ya tonight at work.

Btw, ya didnt miss much, save for me almost.. almost flipping out.. and some lady had to have an ambulance called to get her cuz she fainted.(low sugar or something to that effect)

See what you miss!

Plus you desk might now be permanently comandeered by my pyscho ex... until midnight.. god i hope not.. or i might as well eat both shotgun barrels right now..

Well, it's not like it matters, but I woke up this morning and I was right. All it did need was the aircast and ice, because while it is still a little swollen, it's okay for walking.

But I'm still pissy I missed work if only because that's less money in my paycheck. Ugh.

And let me get this straight ... back on audit AND having to sit in the Pit alone for an hour each night? What, is this some sort of experiment to drive me insane or something? 'Cause it's kinda working ...

Re: Ello' Missed ya last night

[identity profile] digitalodyssey.livejournal.com 2003-06-24 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well yeah, except ill be down in the pit too. If Michelle is sitting back up top and working till midnight, well, lets just say that if her putting up pictures on the wall in your cube is any indication, then well she might be there till midnight.

The good news is, however, that Kerry, Aimee, and myself will all come to the pit to work for that hour. Reason being for me, is that well, she just makes me wanna kill something whenver shes in a half mile of me, and Kerry and Aimee allready don't like her any since she saw fit to screw with their things. Which might be why some of your stuff is always screwy when ya come in.

Its prolly her.

Btw, i can bring liquid mercury in :)

That will stop he from touching things.. (insert evil cackle here)

She touches my crap, she dies. I was there first.

And yes, if she touches my crap, that's exactly what she'll hear. And if she continues to bitch, she's going to get Superman and the Hernia of Doom shoved down her throat.

But I'm still cute and innocent. I swear. :)

God. Fucking four-year-olds at the company. It's like working at the day care center in the mall.

I know your all cute and innocent.. thats what scares me the most.

But I know, countless night's i've thought about taking my robotech figure home, cuz whats the point? Tell mark someone screwed with it. To only not find out who did it, so nothing gets resolved.

Hmm. I'd like to just use my trusty cinder block, its never failed me. :)

At least you've automatically got a guilty party. We know she screws with stuff. So she's guilty allready. No arguments, none, we'll just deal out the justice swift and painfully.
