Wow. Kinda forgot about you there. Sorry about that. I’ve been a little out of it, what with being a gimp, and being transferred to the ‘lackey’ position at work (I’m told it’s temporary… yeah…) and all the incessant candle making. Fun times, people. Watching Wax dry is a bit more fun than paint… but not by much.
So? Did you all make out like bandits this year? I DID! Hahahahahaha. I got a toothbrush and a vacuum , and a humidifier, and a CD and tons of books about Anim—-als. Animals. –Whew– and a homemade candle display, and assorted other goodies. Sadly, I think I only attempted to jump up and down over the vacuum. (And you would too, if your current vacuum had all the sucking capability of… uhm… something that doesn’t suck very well.)
But back to more important things–like making fun of me–I injured myself at work. Now this could be common place, or even natural if I A) worked on scaffolding-though I’d probably get arrested for spitting on people before I had the grace to fall off, B) worked with power tools–other than the industrial hole punch machine in the copy center, C) was a professional athlete – of anything other than smoking cigarettes and drinking cheap beer and expensive wine, or D) did anything other than cart myself around an office all day. Well, I was coming out of the elevator (I’ll leave that one for you, C.S., and happy Christmas) onto the secure floor of our facility, my arms full of that day’s newspapers, when I noticed that not only was the secure door to the floor open, but that no alarm was going off. (In case you were wondering, this is a VERY BIG FEDERAL NO-NO.) Too bad I didn’t notice that the elevator had opened about 6 inches lower than it should of, leaving a ledge tailor made for klutzes like me. I stepped right onto said ledge, twisted my ankle, threw the newspapers up in the air, tore something in my knee trying to compensate, then gave up on that whole ‘balance’ bullshit that you all seem to be so good at keeping, and proceeded to face plant, while newspapers floated down around me. Very slapstick, and smooth like budd-ah, if I do say so myself.
So, now I’m sitting in my messy apartment (I can’t clean, I’m injured!) waiting for the fridge to grow food, and hoping that FiOS messes up and gives me the movie channels for free as a late Christmas present.
I think I might be here a while folks.
