And Winner of the Klutz Award of the Year Goes To…..

If y’all guessed me than you are right.

If you guessed yourself pour a coffee sit on down and read about my latest ‘Adventure in Jay’s Life’ as a friend called it.

In the last 5 months I have had 4 work place injuries.

And apparently I must be even.

One week I hurt right hand.

Next week it was the left.

Last week I tripped over a rack hurting my left forearm

Yesterday…..

I arrived at work to disaster.

Well not really but in the middle of the night there had been a power failure.

I was aware as the ex messaged both T and myself at 3 a.m. to see if we had power.

When the power came back on there was a surge (?) or something which blew up/fried our motherboard (?) which connected us to the internet.

And ran our tills.

And the Debit machines.

I had three orders.

Thankfully they were able to be printed off.

Shopping my customers orders without customers in the store?

Bliss.

I got to go up and down the aisles the wrong way.

No worrying about running into anyone other than my co-workers.

No one looking at me funny if I left my cart in the middle of the aisle to run back and get something.

My first order was smaller.

The second in the $300 range.

The third in the $500 range.

Shopped them all so that when tills came back up I only had to ring them through.

The shopping takes me to 1ish.

Had a coffee from 11:20-11:35.

Began ringing through orders.

Call to make arrangements for pick up.

Customers begin coming to pick up their orders.

Take a phone order.

Last customer picks up her order and I quickly process the phone order.

By now it is almost 4.

I still have not had lunch so I decide given that I need to pick T up and have him come start the grocery shop I would take my half hour from 4-4:30.

Take my order in to the cooler.

There is a pallet on the floor and as I put the box down I tripped over it.

Falling hard on my butt/right hip/right arm.

The customer’s order including two 12 packs of pop lands on top of me.

I sat there yelling fuck fuck fuck.

Stormed out of the cooler and demanded well actually snarled that I needed the pallet moved.

Told our assistant manager what happened and as he is head of the Health & Safety Committee he is on the hunt for the person who left it there.

Went and got a form from our manager so I could fill the form out.

He chuckled and said something about my having a rough time of it.

I did not mention the last two injuries either.

Left and picked T up.

Came back.

Found out my shift changed today as I am now working curbside instead of cart cleaning.

Worked from 4:30-4:45.

Took my last coffee and shopped with T.

We came home and T helped me unload and unpack the groceries.

He made dinner.

He fed the cats.

He hung out with me all evening only going to his room when I went to mine.

And has assured me that he will clean the kitchen today before I get home.

I am thinking my disappointment in him on Wednesday may have sunk in.

Tonight the plan is to hang out and play a video game.

Bendy and The Ink Machine.

Last time we played on the computer I was screaming and he left the room.

I also would not play when home alone.

I am a bit sore today.

Okay a lot.

It hurts to move and I am hobbling.

I have rubbed the anti-inflammatory into my upper arm and shoulder.

Where I could reach on back.

So that is down to a dull thudding.

My butt hurts to sit on.

It is a good thing that I stand at work all day.

I think that there is a klutz gene that runs in our family.

Everyone has it.

Mom.

Me.

T.

My niece.

My cousins.

No one is safe.

Huh maybe I should invest in Bubble Wrap stock.

Have a Fabulous Friday all.
