I Fell. It Hurt.

I'm definately taking it as a sign. So, on thursday I officially started my new job in the warehouse. As we all know, I've also lined up some other opportunities for me to partake in; other opportunities that I was eager to start. Therefore, when the phone call came in that I start work the next day, I was little enthused. But I figured I'd see what the job entailed; what I'd be doing, who I'm working with, and yadda yadda yadda, therefore I went.

It was ok, nothing exciting .. very few perks, 'cept for the wage. A very mediocre job. After four hours I could already see how I'd be feeling in the next few months after taking this job and knowing what I'd have passed up to do it. But, I do need money seeing as I haven't been working for two months. So I figured, working here for a week, at least I'd have some coin in my pocket.

And so after work, I went to the bank. I found a parking stall, parked. Opened the door, stepped out. And SLIPPED on a patch of ice. And now since the stall was on a slope, there was NO WAY I was stopping this fall. But, instictively I threw my hand onto the car to hold me up. It didn't work. As my hand stayed on the car, my body continued to fall the ground, thus popping my shoulder out as I fell and back in when I hit the ground, bruising the muscles.

Unfortunately, popping my shoulder is a comman occurrence, but this time it hurt bad. I went to the doctor, who told me not to use my arm for three - five days. First day on the job, and I'm already taking time off.

Yep, definately a sign.
