Stress

Dundee

Fading day by day.
I'm am considering opening a Dundee - Casual fight thread. So we take these discussions offline.

On relevant subjects to an Alien/Unknown forum we seem to agree.
Hah, I probably wouldn't play anyway.
I just don't understand how almost every post you make in every thread has a political connotation.
You seem to blame your political opponents for everything from bad weather to the declining quality of paint at your hardware store. It is bizarre :)

Sunday night here, got to go back to the shit hole that I work at, with the crappiest boss on the planet.
He goes from Belligerent, to argumentative, to aggressive, on a good day he is just plain rude.
The girls in the office call him The angry man or Mr Grumpy. The blokes just think he is a dick head.
That's what 15 years Air Force as a base wallop-er will do to you.
Sick of locking horns with him. I avoid him at all costs.
Would kill to thump him but it would mean my job.
So Stress, yeah starts in about 9 hours.

I had a bipolar boss for 15 years.

I was always neutral or positive.

He needed me as a buffer.

I quit once and he hired me back a year later because of the techical difficulties the company ran into without me.

I always gave it my best (I won a contract when I gave a presentation with a freshly broken collar bone, staff told me they could hear the bones grinding).

When he had a bad morning once or twice a week I ignored it and worked to get him refocused.

Stress can also be great when you are dealing with things you can fix, but your hands are tied behind your back.

I went to the Drs to have some X Rays done today and I didn't stress out, yay, in fact I nearly fell asleep on the slab.

Who's hands r those? If u mean me, my hand are not tied now..

Well, i was the one who want to quit the job. After my colleague resigned, my boss gave me extra work, I'm was ok with the work & stress but the people there were not the social type nor they were real.. The guy who resigned was the only one who was a real human as far as i can tell, the rest were just fake, they would act nice and give food if they need help and if they don't need they'll be quiet, very quiet.. I was kinda lonely at home and at work, i've just became a working zombie.. z19

I have grown up a petrol head, worked on cars all my life. you would be amazed at how nice it is under a car thats up on stands in the summer. Have nearly fallen asleep many times. Guess I feel at home under there.

Yeah, everything seems to work. There is still a knot where the bones join (I have X-rays that show the bones overlapping about 2 1/2 inches before they adjusted the shoulder). The day after the skiing accident the whole upper right quadrant of my body was shades of purple and yellow, that faded over a couple of weeks. It was about 5 years before I could drive any distance without back pain. But I was lucky that I rotated enough to land on my shoulder and not my neck.

And I was back to skiing 2 weeks after the bones knitted.

What happend to u? Why take X-ray for?

Out of my control.

We had been racing down a blue slope at Lake Placid (I did the luge the day before - that is rough on the fillings), and we were just cruising back down it on the upper half of the mountain. It was a blue slope and I was only going 35-40 MPH so I wasn't paying a lot of attention and wasn't in a racing crouch.

I took the bottom track into a blind 90° corner that had a dip, as I went over the edge I saw a mogul and didn't have time to react (it hadn't been there earlier). The guys with me said I went 20+ feet in the air. Hit the far bank of the trail at a perpendicular angle (square on).

The guys were speculating on whether I was dead when they saw some twitching and I got to my feet. They excitedly told me about my short air trip and that I was lopsided. One shoulder was too far forward and too low.

Picked up my poles in my left hand and started skiing with them down the hill. When I got to the mid station the ski patrol spotted me. They literally tackled me. They were pissed I was still skiing. From there on things were out of my control. I was tied to one of the gurney sleds and towed down the hill. What a nuisance.

This led to an ambulance ride to the hospital and the X-rays so they could figure out what I had done to myself. I'm lucky the collar bone was the only thing that broke. I used my shoulder as a crush zone to absorb impact, much like the front of a car is designed to do.

My rabbit and cats are forever under my vehicle so they must know that feeling well. Very cool no doubt especially in the heat.
