innerware Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 So I thought I would share my Friday night fun with you all. Well I was at work and getting ready to leave early. I was just going to help this lady architect load a base we made for her model into the back of her truck. So I wheeled it out to the loading dock in our building and got it in. All was great so far. Still 3:00 and I would be leaving early. Well, I went to get off the dock. I put one hand on the dock corner and the other on the edge of the truck and was going to swing my legs out and onto the dock about 5 feet below. Done this a hundred times. Well, my feet got hung up on the lip to the dock and I lost my balance. I face planted into the edge of the dock with my feet still hung up. Now I am hanging parallel to the dock. My back arched backward and then flop smack bang. I crashed (bellyflopped) onto the concrete deck 5 feet below. It all happened so fast. Well the young gall heard the sound and came running over. I couldn't move. Kind of nocks the self esteem from ya when that happens. After eating dirty dock floor for a few minutes I turned over to find out that it feels like I was run over and my knees feel broke. My left one is now bleeding through my pants my middle finger on my left hand is swelling and I have a fat lip. Well that was my start to my Friday. Long story short, x rays and stiches later, my finger was broken, knees just really bruesed, and stiched up. It is going to be hard getting into the Z. I think I have wip lash too. Moral of this story. Use the stairs. Thanks for listening, Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Moral of this story. Use the stairs. But what fun would that be? !M! Exactly. If everyone used the stairs all the time, we wouldnt have any interesting stories to tell or listen too. Its the clumsiness and lack of better judgment of the species that gives us news, amusing stories, and first had experiance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody 82 ZXT Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Good story, I'll add one that I have just so you don't feel bad. I used to work for a mega gaint corp. that is a big retailer in the country. Having said that I'll tell ya that they wanted everything done "NOW" not tommarow first thing, or as soon as possible, but, if you wanted to get anywhere in the company you did everything "NOW." Anyway, I was working late one night on a huge display that required us to use some short sections of steel rack to hold the upper section of merchandise. While I was up on top of this steel walking on boards that are barley secured I somehow lost my balance and when I went to grab the pole that I thought was in arm distance it was no where that I thought it was. So now I'm falling head first towards the ground off the 10' section of steel. As they say "I saw my life flash before my eyes." I guess it wasn't my day to get hurt because my pant leg got caught on a cut section of the upright. My pants tore from my knee area to the bottom section that keeps it all from coming apart. There I was dangling from the upright thinking how in the H*ll it I just do that? My boss had to come over and cut my pant leg off the upright while I lifted up on some stacked up pallets. Luckily I was totally unhurt other than my pride was slighty damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel like I got run over but the vicadin is good. Oh well I am an idiot. At least now I get a long weekend. Always look on the bright side of life....
