I actually quit a job over a bad office situation. My boss made me share an office with a guy named Farzad (a.k.a. "Fartzad" - guess why).
Excellent! Reminds me of MAD magazine.lisab said:
That sounds pretty serious. Sounds like low blood pressure, or hypoglycemia, or some cardiac issue. Time to see a physician perhaps.Evo said:I passed out last night in the bathroom, my temperature had fallen to 93 degrees F, luckily I was on my knees in front of the toilet because I was nauseated, so when I hit my face on the hard stone tiles, my bottom teeth cut completely through the part of my chin just below my bottom lip, but no serious injuries!. Stitches, hurt, swollen, pain.
Maybe an emergency button would be good idea.I'm not taking the blame for this one, being unconscious doesn't count, even if it was just a brief blackout. My best friend at work, (yes, I came in late), has suggested buying me one of those "I've fallen and can't get up" devices. I think it's a good idea at this point.

It does, now that you mention it, I wonder why my temperature dropped like that? I felt like ice, which is why I took my temperature, I wanted to verify if I was just imagining feeling that cold.Moonbear said:Yikes! That sounds kind of like going into shock or something.
Nope, I guess that might have been a good idea.Did you get thoroughly checked out when you went in for the stitches? That's not something to mess around with. I hope you mentioned the root canal when you were there, just in case it's some complication of that.

Evo said:Bear with me, I'm learning how to use my camera phone and I've just e-mailed these to myself from my phone. When I get my SD adaptor hopefully they'll look better.
This is from my bedroom window
From the patio
From the back door (you can see how quickly the yard drops off into the ravine) this is where I fell and broke my arm
This is sitting at my computer

Evo said:Here is a picture taken from my patio a few minutes ago with the camera the Evo Child gave me for mother's day. Ah, I see that I need to set the date.
Snow? You want snow? This was my house in March. I would gladly have shared the snow with you.Ephratah7 said:wow..! ! Beautiful! I wish it would snow here in the philippines...

Luckily, we had a week-long thaw in previous months and several rains that reduced the depth of the snow. We got well over 10' of snow last winter - lots of shoveling, snow-scooping, roof-raking, and snow-blowing. I'm glad it's over.Cyrus said:Man, that's nuts.

That's the "ditch of darn" - a terrain element that might be dangerous only if you are incapable of walking without falling down.Astronuc said:Nice gully! Looks like a nice area.
Any signs of notagoshawk lately?
Kurdt said:I think you're confused with some illegal substances.
Yeah, when I as a kid we got about that much in one "event". My wife's parent's house was buried, and they had to climb out of upper-story windows to shovel out the doors. I had the responsibility of getting outside periodically to keep the doors clear so that they could be opened, and try to bust up the snow-banks from the plowing operations so that my father could get to work every day. Between the driveway, the clotheslines, and the paths to each, I shoveled pretty much full-time every day. This year was mild compared to that.rewebster said:Snow---ya call dat snow-- 10 feet?----we call that 'dust' aroun' thees parts, kiddo

I didn't get much really this year---I thought I had heard that someplace in NW NY state got about or over 5 feet though in one snow 'event'--2 to 3 days
Well, don't do that again. Please don't go outside in the dark, especially when the grass is wet.Evo said:Gully? It's the CHASM OF DOOM! It's where I fell and broke my arm.
Ok, so it's not a staight 20 foot drop directly into the creek, but it's at least a 45 degree slope in some places, something young girls with baby stollers and babies can manuever down, but not EVO! I fell when I slipped on an 8" dip in the grass. But it was DARK, and the grass was wet, and I was wearing thongs. If 8" can break an arm, just imagine what me tumbling 20 feet would do.

You need to wear MULTIPLE thongs? What is this? Pre-Depends training for middle-aged women.Evo said:But it was DARK, and the grass was wet, and I was wearing thongs.
