Gah…I cracked my knee on the vanity in the bathroom this morning, and my knee is now bright red and still sore…I suppose it matches the elbow I cracked on my sister’s dining table yesterday, though.

Gah…I cracked my knee on the vanity in the bathroom this morning, and my knee is now bright red and still sore…I suppose it matches the elbow I cracked on my sister’s dining table yesterday, though.

Would it help to have a bath? Or did you wind up cutting yourself?

I hope you feel better soon.

Yikes, Smerk!

The teen Dragon took a spill in the hallway upstairs this morning as well.  She was coming out of her room with her stuff for school (Hands loaded up) and tripped over a hiking boot.  Ended up doing a hard shoulder plant into the hall landing.   I could tell from the sound that it was just one of those “Oops”. stumbles.

She’s sore, but okay. (Though she’s gonna have a pretty bruise in a little while.  I told her to tell her teachers that her crotchety old man beat her with his walker!)  

Darn it, Dave. We were only two days away from having the Daily Thread turn into a Monthly Thread!

*joke about being two days till retirement here*

Anyway…. I have just had a VERY odd experience.

So there I am, having a nap at work. This is fairly common, and I’m allowed to if it’s slow. Someone comes to the front desk.

I recognize the guy’s name, he’s been here before. He’s from some sort of slavic country. He’d apparently booked things online, which explains why there’s a reservation despite me being sure everyone had checked in.

So I go about checking him in. I notice a note on the reservation, saying he wanted to be on the top floor, away from the freeway - common request. I go to change his room number, but for some reason, its been preassigned and won’t let me change it. Wait a minute, why is it set to room 115? We don’t HAVE a 115… and why is my desk dissolving into silvery-gray mist… Sir? Where did you go…?

That’s when I woke up.

So… yeah. For all I worry about losing a sale because I was sleeping, it’s something else to lose one because you’re awake…

Curse you, vanity!!!

Yawn, is it morning yet?

*naps in the sunny spot*

*opens one eye*

*sighs*

*scoots over two feet back into sunny spot*

I…... I….. Just finished a ‘Sleep Study’.

PES sensor. 

The med techs have finally developed the perfect compliance torture tool.*

And… and… I let them do it to me….    

I’m gonna go get some sleep.

*Compliance Torture Tool = A device or set of protocols where the victim subjects themselves to various discomforts/procedures merely to demonstrate their willingness to comply with given directives.

I guess I missed the rapture again.  It appears I’m still here and there isn’t any looting happening.  Sigh, and I wanted a new laptop.
