Leaving the House is Overrated.
Feb. 20th, 2008 05:40 pmBus drivers who don't wait until people with canes are seated before moving? Very bad.
People who let their sidewalks get all bumpy and icy? Also on my bad list.
On the other hand, yesterday's bus driver who wouldn't drop me off at the corner, did today without my asking. Guess she felt guilty after watching me hobble around.
Coworkers are all being really good about moving boxes for me. And I've answered many, many questions about how I am and what's happened to my knee. So I guess they sorta care, despite nary a get-well card.
There are a ton of new people, and more being hired. Bossman says that when he wants two people to stay, he hires four, because at least half will escape.
Yesterday auditions for Last Comic Standing were going on underneath my work again--at Acme Comedy Club. Very long line of people, including at least four tents. Brrr. Super-cold yesterday, too, almost as much as today.
Yesterday was very painful. Working a full day and bussing/hobbling to and from was really stressful for my knee, and I spent most of the evening huddled on the couch, well under the influence of painkillers. Phil said I probably shouldn't go in to work today, should let my knee rest, but it's not that kind of job. I'm not going to work this weekend, though, and I know they're not going to want to hear that.
Today, not quite as bad. I'm even going to try and cook again in a few minutes (tried that two days ago to make veggie & tofu curry, was also an activity disliked by my knee).
