Poetic Excuses to Miss Work

Dear sir I write this note to you
To tell you of my plight
For at the time of writing it
I'm not a pretty sight

My body is all black and blue
My face a deathly grey
And I write this note to tell you
Why I am not at work today

Whilst working on the fourteenth floor
Some bricks I had to clear
But to toss them down from such a height
Was not a good idea

The foreman wasn't very pleased
He is an awkward sod
And he said I had to cart them
Down the ladder in my hod

Well moving all these bricks by hand
It was so very slow
So I hoisted up a barrel
And secured the rope below

But in my haste to do the job
I was to blind to see
That a barrell full of building bricks
Was heavier than me

And so when I untied the rope
The barrell fell like lead
But clinging tightly to the rope
I started up instead

I shot up like a rocket
'til to my dismay I found
That half way up I met
The bloody barrel coming down

The barrel broke my shoulder
As to the ground it sped
And when I reached the top
I banged the pulley with my head

Still clinging tightly to the rope
From this almighty blow
Whilst the barrel spilled out half it's bricks
Some fourteen floors below

Now when these bricks had fallen
From the barrel to the floor
I then outweighed the barrel
And so started down once more

Still clinging tightly to the rope
My body racked with pain
And halfway down I met
The bloody barrel once again

The force of this collision
Halfway down the office block
Caused multiple abrasions
And a nasty case of shock

Still clinging tightly to the rope
I fell towards the ground
And landed on the broken bricks
The barrel had scattered round

I lay there bleeding on the ground
I thought I'd passed the worst
But the barrel hit the pulley wheel
And then the bottom burst

A shower of bricks rained down on me
I didn't have a hope
As I lay there bleeding on the ground
I let go of the bloody rope

The barrel now being heavier
It started down once more
And landed right across me
As I lay there on the floor

It broke three ribs and my left arm
And I can only say
I hope you'll understand
Why I am not at work today !!!

Wisdom teeth and stupidity

So I got my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday and I'm acting pretty stupid today. The hydrocodine is making me really itchy. Yet another allergy I'm gaining due to the Avonex immune system boost. I'm really loopy and will update ya'all later.

Oh Yeah

This weekend... Hmm, it's actually fine. I've been really tired, but manageable. Chris and I went and say Live Free or Die Hard today, that was fun.
My shot burned when he gave it to me. It must have hit a nerve, or something. And I had a weird reaction to the adheisive on the bandaide... really weird. Chris says it's like hives. It's kind of like when you get too much sun and you get the blisters... or pimple like stuff. Blisters, I guess... it itches ever so often. Very odd. Other than that, hmmm... left hand loosing sensation. Dizzy, and loss of balance, but fine otherwise. Just the shot stuff is odd.
My babies are fine and loving that I'm laying down with them.

Plumbers


So I've got this plumber that did a great job fixing my toilets and leaky sink. I had to hire him because my original plumber wouldn't work with me, and he agreed to pay for another guy to come in and do the work. But now he's saying he's not going to pay me the 325 the other guys charged me. Frankly it's bull shit.
This Alex guy, the one who said he'd come out and fix everything, but never did, is refusing to pay me back even though I have him recorded on my voicemail saying that he would. He's going back on his word and frankly I can't afford to not get the money. I mean, that's almost half my monthly morgage! He wasn't doing his job, and he told me to get someone else and that he'd pay for him to do the work, and now he's saying he's not going to pay for it. Grrrr... I hate people who take advantage of me. It's just not right. He seemed like such a nice person, but now he just seems like a bastard. I left him a message saying that I'd be by his work expecting the check. But that's because he's always avoiding me, and I need that money! It's not fair that he takes advantage of me. Grrr... sorry, I'm so tired of this crap. I just want to sleep and get this settled. I don't want to have to take him to court, but he's completely in the wrong about this stuff. Grrrr
