Well I think I've got a pretty good idea how this year is going to go. It was one of *those* days in the shop... where nothing was going right. Get frustrated with 1 project, move to the next, screw something up there, get frustrated, move to the next.... So I finally decided to call it. And out of frustration I punted an empty cardboard box, aiming for the burn pile... only the box wasn't empty (some idiot forgot about putting that off this morning).... and I'm pretty sure I just re-broke my bad ankle. Actually I'm almost certain of it. This. Officially. Sucks.

You're suposed to take out your frustration on something that doesn't bite back, like a pillow..............Really hope it isn't broken.

Ever since SIlva's last MMA fight I will never kick anything again. I hope it isnt broken that would be a sucky way to start the new year.

Ouchie. Sounds like something I would do. Did you go to the hospital yet?

Sounds like one of my days ... Sorry to hear about your bout with the box ... they usually win. Last time I kicked an empty box, it threw out my back and put me down for about a week. Hope your ankle is okay and that this was the low point for you this year.

That ankle is why I'm self employed to begin with. I broke it really badly a few (5ish?) years ago & all I'm qualified to do on paper are jobs that require me being on my feet - 15 years as a chef, 7 years working at ski resorts, etc. Well work comp screwed me, they refused surgery, physical rehab & even tried to go after me for the ambulance ride down the mountain. Not quite bad enough to get disability, but bad enough that I can't do any of those things any more. So I have my shop & I have a 100 mile long rural newspaper route to help when the shop is slow & for fun money when the shop is busy.

And it wasn't that big of a box, it was just a double punt to where it needed to be.. even if I wasn't ...... I would've probably kicked it since my hands were full. I probably gave it a little extra gusto from the frustration & managed to hit it in the just wrong spot with the just wrong spot of my foot. I'm not going to the hospital since I already know what they're going to do to me & I've got all that stuff here. Soft cast, walking cast, crutches, a super awesome cane (but no top hat ). I also have EMT training from working on the ski patrol. That coupled with stubbornness will get me through... and some Advil. And some Dr. Peeber. Ahh yes. Pabst makes every thing better.

Edit: Anyone have a top hat I could borrow?

You are braver than I am. I would be in the emergency room asking for some really strong painkillers.

Put the beer outside. Problem solved. Not like you're in Florida.
WAH. I want to be in Florida.

Got a bowler but I'm wearing it right now & I ain't loanin' ya my buba stick either.

I thought about that, but the scotch is too high on the shelf. I need one of those grippy claw things, like Butch has to use to pick stuff up off the floor.

A few beers & trying to crack some jokes is about all I've got... & not thinking about how much tomorrow morning's going to suck.

Then how am I supposed to ice my ankle with it? Are you telling me to go play in the street?

Is that what you call the grippy thing?

I thought you had gotten your daily "Butch is old" requirement out of the way earlier.

 

[FearTX]

I am going to pretend I caught up and know what is going on. I am pouting and sulking, I have to go back to work tomorrow.

Hmmm.
We do have a dilemma.

Plot twist: Ozwald is actually older than Butch.

I'm going for extra credit. This hurts like hell, I deserve it. He deserves it rather. Or whatever.
