Lounge of Tomorrow

On top of it all, I slipped and fell on the linoleum floor in the Lunchroom. There was a puddle of water I didn't see. My manager and I had to fill out a heap of paperwork (even though I wasn't injured, we still had to do all the workers comp stuff).

A story to make you feel better:

This past weekend my brother fell out of a hotel van while on a business trip in Knoxville. Got tangled in the seatbelts or somesuch. Hit his head, shoulder, and hip on the way down, and nearly broke his finger. Got to visit the Knoxville ER and now has to see a hand specialist due to potential ligament damage in his ring finger.

Not only does he have paperwork to fill out, but all his coworkers heard about it before he got back, and he's received quite the razzing.

Cool info Alex - thank you for sharing. I always enjoy learning new things!

No problem, I've been messing in this area recently. I have a new product idea that has a lot of heat behind it (yay me) but has been running into a big wall because of some idiosyncrasies with how checks are processed. Over the last three weeks I've learned way more than I would ever want to know.

Is this considered an honor or congratulatory effort of some sort?

Is it you and 400 other employees enjoying an "intimate" meeting with the boss or is it just a couple of youse?

I'm up to the bit where Voldemort gets GWB to set off the Nukelar war and every character dies.

We went to Joe's Crab Shack in SFO and I had me a big ole messy Dungemess (typo intentional) Crab with butter on our last day there.

MMMMMMM mm. I still have the Crab Cracker (they let you keep it)
