i had work today from 11-3 today. but i woke up at 11. so i called in to work saying that i'd be about 10 minutes late. and got ready and ran out. RAN! the parking lot i have to run through to get to the side walk was half full of water from the rain but i saw an opening between the dumpster and the recycling bins. and that's when it happened. i ran and slipped and fell on the mud. the parking lot asphalt is about an inch or two lower than the sidewalk. so i slipped on the mud and slammed into the side of the sidewalk. ....that was fun as always. and as i fell, a woman pusing her baby in a stroller passed me and helped me get cleaned up. nice samaritan. :) she gave me a cloth wipe thing but i felt bad getting it dirty. so she gave me a bunck of baby wipes. that worked well. and i limped to work. i got there and told a very animated story about how i fell (lying a bit so it sounded worse) so that my boss would have a bit of sympathy and not be too mad for being late. he asked if i was ok and said that i would be working the cash register all day. the only thing is that i'm the only one working that shift who knew how to work the cash register. so i had more or less an indefinate break since it kept being interupped by ppl comming in. and even though i was scheduled to only work till 3, i stayed til 430 when the other shift started. which was lovely. and when i eventually looked at my thigh, i saw that i have a FAT bruise on my upper thigh. good times.
