I wanted all you dopers to be the first to know that I just went ass over tea kettle here at work. I’m ok but both knees are going to have great bruises on them. These damn clogs I’m wearing (for a foot problem) make me so clumsy. I caught my foot on the wheel of a chair as I was getting up. Luckily I fell flat on my front so I didn’t twist anything except my dignity. My co-worker heard the crash and thought I’d just dropped a folder or something. When she turned around I was lying on my face. Going to be a good day, I can tell.
:rolleyes:
Mostly what I do is whack my hands or arms against things as I walk. I guess I swing my hands enthusiastically when I travel thru this cubicle maze. Yesterday I caught a papercutter with my forearm - drew blood and everything. Last week, I cut my finger and didn’t realize it until I saw the blood spots on my jeans.
And we shan’t talk about stumbling on a perfectly flat tile floor…
Graceful deportment is not among my better qualities.
Just remember, your day has now been much more exciting and eventful than if this hadn’t happened. Your life is now more enriched, and your wealth of experiences has increased.
Ha ha. Welcome to my world, Encinitas. I have two bad knees that tend to give out on steps, and usually when I’m going up. I have a tendancy to pitch forward and fall up a flight of steps rather than down. (And ass over teakettle is my favorite expression to use when I do fall.)
I’m glad you’re ok. Take some ibuprofen and avoid chair wheels!
The clogs are fine Coldie. Although I wish they were lower to the ground (so I would’nt have to tumble so far). Do they make some kind of Safety Clog[sup]TM[/sup] in Holland? Something with training wheels? Sure could use a pair.
Martiju, what’s the topic of your report. Perhaps I can help?
Skerri, the stories I could tell about ass over teakettle experiences!:rolleyes:
