Yeah, how's the poor TV.

 

[Yossarian]

did a best buy employee do this to you while trying to load it in your car?

BTW P.A.s should be able to diagnose that.

LOL...the sad thing is that I finished putting it out on display. I did this while I was working today. I stayed on for a couple hours after I did it until my foot was throbbing so bad I couldnt take it any more.

You should have seen my pinky after I smashed it between two 65lb. dumbbells. It was fatter than my thumb.

All I can say is that it's monster Monday at Senor Loco's (i.e. 40oz bottles of bud, bud lt, miller lite for $3.50). Should mix well with prescription medication. :beer::beer:

go back to work on Wed unless I find out otherwise. I have to go back to the docs on Wed to find out how bad it is.


Anyone know anything about workman's comp laws?

Pretty sure you have to be injured on the job.

 

[NorthRiver]

If you did it at work, they had better have a nice desk job for you. If there is nothing for you to do, comp will have to pay for your time off.

Tv, and beers:beer:

If you were injured ON the job, At the job, you can get all your medical bills covered, and most of the time they will cover your time off.

I don't know about lost commision.

I know that 36 " WEGA TV weighs around 340 pounds.. Hope you feel better..

 

[MustISO]

Weight: 235 pounds. See, it's not that heavy... suck it up

 

[BigPoppa]

Was it a glass tube or projection? Our 36" tube TV was one heavy piece of work. If it was a tube, I definately feel for your foot.

F$ing liberal socialists.

God I love America!!!!

really though, I was unboxing the tv and this annoying girl that works with us was bothering me. I was lifting it out of the box when she came up behind me and grabbed the side of the box. I guess she was trying to help but it threw me off balance and I dropped the thing on my foot. I move these tv's all the time. I know how to lift them. I dont know how to lift them with someone knocking it off balance.

i was working at walmart years ago and two- 35inch CTR tv's fell on my head due another employee's fault. I got paid for the time at the hospital, they covered my med bills and i was paid for all the time scheduled.

some companies make you take a drug test before filing worker's comp to make sure you aren't liable, so check your company's policies on claiming comp before you make a case (that is if you fret a drug test)
