DragonRider Posted October 1, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 1, 2009 Things didnt go well at work today, I had an accident, I tripped over a low metal cart, the kind that are made a steel and not very forgiving, I was carrying a rather long piece of alum., and didnt see the cart sitting where is was not supposed to be, I hit it with my left shin, fell over the top of it, after jettisoning the metal away from me, I landed with my right knee on top of the steel corner therefore messing that leg up, and balancing out the pain from the left side, on my way down I must have thrust my right hand out to break my fall and that it did, of course I landed on it badly causing me more pain to equal the pain in the right shin & left knee. A co-worker saw me land badly and came to my aid, by the time he got to me, I was sitting up, I dont remember how I landed, but I do remember him squatting down next to me asking me if I was ok, I sort of stared at him dumbly, and he asks me again if I was ok, and my reply was yeah I'm fine with the exception of the pain in my right shin:starz:, pain in the left knee :starz:and a throbbing right wrist:starz:...........I sure would like to get hold of the Idiot that left that cart where it was not supposed to be, I would shove it up his you know what, then ask him...........Are you OK? To add insult to injury, I had to go get my wrist x-rayed, and they had the HR manager take me, and she does nothing but talk about the most boring things the whole time. I was so glad when they called me in for the exam, first thing out of their mouth, pee in this bottle for a drug screen.................Dang, if I would have known that, I wouldnt have taken a leak before I left the plant. Had to hang around after the Xray till I had to pee.........Then they test it and I test positive for opiates, I take Hydrocodone daily for pain, just once in the morning, but it was enough to show positive, now they have to send it off for further tests to make sure I am not abusing it................at least they didnt release those results to my employer, they will only do that if it shows I was impaired or abusing it.........which I am not.......might need to take some now for all the aches I am having....................... And how was your day?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted October 1, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 1, 2009 Holy Hell Bud! You need to take a few days off and sit in the hammock. Ibuprofin is your friend, I take it everyday for the aches and pains that are here from the weather cooling off here in Michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

massey130 Posted October 1, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 1, 2009 OUCH! sorry for the mishap but glad it was not worse. i wonder why the person who left the cart in the aisle was not drug tested. i bet no one fessed up to leaving the cart in the aisle, so who to test. does a drug test show any level of stupidity or azzi-nine ? hope you get to feeling better soon. dale in La.

Ivan Posted October 1, 2009 Share #6 Posted October 1, 2009 I have had days like that. Except for me, when I start hunting down the jerk that left something in the way, the trail of evidence is usually self incriminating. Hope you heal soon.
