Wife is laying in bed because her company gives her MLK day off. This is after most of her office was at a conference last week and she had to do last Monday and then "worked" from home Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm insanely jealous.

Years back I broke my ankle slipping on some ice in my buddy's driveway. He was 15-20 feet away but still heatd the snap. I landed in such a way that my leg got folded under me. So that was fun. Naturally the smartest thing we could do was have me limp up the spiral staircase to his 2nd-floor apartment. I've also had a pilonidal cyst, which is something that happens right around where your back meets your butt. I let that go for so long that the doctor insisted on cutting some of it out in his office with only a local anaesthetic. Was thankfully put under for the follow-up surgery but ended up with a fist-sized hole in my lower back that took months to heal. Both of those were decades ago though. I had surgery for an inguinal hernia in 2016. That recovery wasn't t too bad pain-wise with only ibuprofen, and the hernia itself was only a nuisance prior to. I'm sure the ultimate cause was work-related but the thing that caused the tissue to finally rip was a sneeze.

Having MLK off is new for me. We got bought out and to match up with the company that bought us we were given 4 extra holiday days. MLK, Christmas Eve, and the Presidents and Columbus Day??? Whatever I’ll take it

Yeah my company is pretty stingy with holidays. New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Th/Fr of Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. They like to send people home early on certain holiday weekends though, which is nice enough. Also the CEO of my employer is a confirmed MAGA-chud so no way are we getting MLK off!

BlindSite posted:I don't recall ever having a nose bleed either. I had my bottom teeth put through my bottom lip via an elbow to the mouth once and I bled like a stuck pig. Broken my arms five times. Left three right two. Worst was the last break where the bones in my forearm got flipped sideways and they needed to manipulate them worst pain in my life. Later had two pins put in the didn't set right, so they spent a while deciding if they would have to rebreak it. They didn't, but I don't have full range of motion in my wrist and it grinds non-stop.

My celebrity story was I met Rod Carew at spring training when I was like 5. I said hello, we talked about baseball (I said my favorite player was Kirby Puckett, and I wanted to play CF when I got older). When it was time to go he asked me if I wanted him to sign my hat, I said "That's OK. My Mom already put my name in it."

I also don't have today off. The company's only official holidays are Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas / New Year's. On the plus side, there's unlimited PTO and a lot of official time off around Christmas and New Year's. The flexibility of unlimited time off is nice, though it seems like the end result is often just that people never take time off due to perceived pressure. Also, the company doesn't have to pay out any accrued PTO on employee departure like other companies would.

My only celebrity story is I met Jerry Glanville and Dirk Koetter in a bar in Hartford for a fan event for the city's now defunct UFL team. Koetter told me that the "arena guys can't throw the ball for poo poo" after I asked about on of the UFL QBs, a former arena player who'd had a good year and went on to be a 3rd-stringer with the Cowboys.

Joey Freshwater posted:Lol if you don’t have today off I don't have today off, but there ain't poo poo going on in this place today so I'm cool. Had Friday off though cuz of the weather. Edit: Since we're posting celebrity stories... I worked at the JW Marriott in Indy for 2 years and worked 3 NFL combines. Met a lot of cool dudes. Belichick was an rear end to me because he tried to check in super early and his room wasn't ready. Rex Ryan pretended to be really lovely about the same issue, but was messing with me. drat near poo poo my pants because that was after the Belichick incident. Ummm...Elway winked at me when I said hello to him. Had conversations with Jim Harbaugh, Ted Thompson, and Norv Turner about football. It was awesome. I've met Snoop Dogg, Ice-T and Coco, Mark Cuban (who is super cool irl). I've met a ton of sports celebs and regular celebs. Only person I need to cross off my list is Charles Barkley. I'd actually go nuts if I met him because he's hilarious. pubic works project fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Jan 15, 2018 |

Worst injury: Broke my collarbone coming down with a TD catch while playing touch football with friends. Had to have a plate put in to fix it because it was on the verge of popping through skin. Not a single person questioned if I maintained possession. Celebrity: Met Tom Haberstroh at SXSW. He was kind and fun to talk to about TrueHoop for a few minutes. While interning at the Michigan House of Reps back in college, I walked past Kwame Kilpatrick and 6-7 dudes beside him, all sized like linebackers. Wasn't really a meeting because I just kept my eyes down, but it was easily the most memorable thing about that internship because they could've taken over the place and no one would've/could've done poo poo about it. Not really celebrity as much as dudes you might have heard of once or twice.

Worst injury is a tie: In eighth grade I was playing basketball and went up to block a shot on a fast break. I landed awkwardly on my foot and I knew I had sprained it immediately. A split second later the guy I blocked landed on my foot and broke the ankle. Other was I slipped and fell in basketball practice when I got tangled up with someone and hit my head hard on the court junior year. I was a bit off the rest of practice but I was mostly fine. I went to bed and woke up the next day and had miserable headaches and really bad light sensitivity. So I guess I had a decently bad concussion.

Never broken a bone. Never torn a muscle or ligament. Never dislocated anything. I had a really bad cramp after rowing practice one day? Only contact sport I ever played was lacrosse in middle school. I had my growth spurt way before everybody else so I was the biggest dude and played as the face-off midfielder. Since my reaction time has always been awful I didn't go for the ball, I just plowed over the guy across from me and let our super fast guys on the edge beat their dudes to it.

His roommates dragged him to the hospital when he didn't wake up all day but the swelling from his concussion had already given him permanent brain damage. He still gets around, but his speech is considerably slower and he has problems remembering things.

Can't say that I've ever broken anything or torn a muscle/ligament/tendon, I think the worst thing is that the cartilage in my right knee is really worn down from years of running (and HS marching band years ago) but since I started lifting more it hasn't been bothering me as much. But that could very well be due to running fewer miles to make up for the time I spend lifting lol

When I was like 10 I broke my right arm because I was biking down a hill and my sister (aged 5) stopped dead between a telephone poll and tree and I had my choice of what to plow into and chose the tree. Didn't break anything but more a whole body fuckup, while playing flag football I stepped into a huge divot in a lovely field, twisted my ankle, smashed my knee into a stone and busted my face open.

Yeah knowing what I know now about brain injuries I feel very lucky everything still works okay up there. I can't believe I finished practice given what transpired the next day. Also the lead singer of The Cranberries died. <zombie joke goes here after the appropriate amount of time>

I broke my wrist hurdling the 300m in high school during playoffs. It was an epic fall that would've been all over youtube if camera phones could do video decent back then. I blasted off the blocks ahead of everyone and immediately ate it on the first one. Got up after my momentum kept me rolling for a bit then kept running and fell 3 more times. Eventually finished as the crowd awkwardly clapped. End result: broken wrist that required a bone graft from my hip to repair, two knees swollen ans bruised that thankfully didn't tear ligaments, and a really sprained ankle. I also have a cool scar from that time a bullet casing when down my uniform sleeve and just roasted my skin. I concussed myself from smoking too much weed once. I got up, walked a few steps then passed out and hit my head.

Yeah, after reading that it was even possible for the test and real buttons to be on the same page I was blown away. The overpriced garbage software the government procures is mind boggling, but understandable given the way Booz Allen et al have had rules around procurement structured.

Actually I may have done some damage to my knee drunkenly dancing back in December. I can move it between 90 and 180 degrees no problem, but if I go less than 90 it still hurts. Doesn't feel like there's structurally anything wrong though? I hope it gets back to normal cause I've got a ski race in a month.
