Painful morning.

I stepped off of the loading dock at work(I work at Portland State University's mail room)..about 4 1/2 feet straight down onto the pavement.
I was walking backwards,about to grab one of the carts full of mail & packages that the post office had just dropped off.

(Basically,imagine stepping off a ladder,and missing a couple of rungs as you step down..that's how I fell.Straight vertically down.)

Twisted my right ankle (still hurts a little bit,even though this happened about 4 hours ago..maybe 8:20 AM or so.)

This wasn't a traction issue..(I don't think wearing my Whites boots would've helped,since I just misstepped.)

You are lucky you are not dead.

Weird thing is they made it on the delivery truck but then got delayed at 8 pm. Figured maybe the driver went home or something.

 

[mnewsham]

I need a new one.

What one did you get?

$120 for a stupid keyboard? I'll keep my cheap one with the small backspace key and delete key in the wrong place.

Yea..The poor driver always comes here around 7:30 looking beat. He's a cool guy so I would never call to complain.

eh, mechanical with USB 3.0 pass through and 64 n-key rollover, if you type a LOT of the time it's worth it, just from a comfort standpoint. Also this thing is built like a tank, seems like it will last awhile.

how good?

F yea it's a hard job. I have no idea how those guys make it through Christmas without offing themselves. I bitch but I understand.

If I need something on a life or death deadline, I have it shipped fedex to work. They come by at least twice a day and more when we have a lot of shipments going out. We get a bit of special treatment from them since we spend so much (it's a stupid number) with them a month. So I know 100% our driver won't miss a package.

more than you, probably.

two words: SADR account.

 

[rudeguy]

Is that a business account? We are extremely loyal to fedex. With as much as we ship, they offer the most consistency. Plus their sort facility is 2 blocks away and UPS is 10 miles.
