i just... um... fell. i partially stood to reach from the bookcase above my monitor in front of me, and my heel must have pushed the chair away without my realizing it, so when i sat back down, there was no chair, and all my weight went into a collision between my tailbone and, as it turns out, the very, very, very hard floor.
of course, as soon as this occurs a secretary ran in to see if i was okay and kept clucking around me, and then a coworker came in, and i asked to them to leave, but my coworker refused, and all the while i'm laid out on the ground because i can't get up because of the pain emanating from my tailbone and... oh... at least i got my coworker to close the door.
later someone came by to see if i was okay because the secretary apparently went off to tell other people that i fell in my office. fantastic.
ooouuuccccchhhhhhh... my head is, like, foggy from the fall. :(
Posted by rrc at November 16, 2006 10:53 AMsomething similar to that happened to me when i was a first year in college and i was trying to impress moof. some guy accidentally pulled a chair out from under me, i fell, and hit my head on something. i tried to play it off but my scalp was bleeding and i had to leave to get two stitches. i hope you're feeling better! :(

i am an idiot. my sister told me to take 600mg of ibuprofen, and i looked at the little packets we have at work, and it said 200mg, so i took 3 packets (6 tablets). it was later pointed out to me that it's 200mp PER TABLET, not per packet. so i took TWELVE HUNDRED mgs of ibuprofen. my sister was like, "connie...?!"
and my back still aches. she told me not to take any more tonight. maybe i had brain damage from the fall.
