Title: Bad day or am I getting OLD....
Post by: koopmaster on February 04, 2014, 08:45:34 am
If you had seen my other thread I nearly killed myself yesterday by electrocution...

But that wasn't the end of my day.  I was climbing over onto a customers balcony and twisted my knee,  not enough to break a muscle but just enough that I felt it and have a nice twinge in my knee today. 

I can still walk so I am ok to work.  thank heavens I have WFP system.

So would yesterday be considered a bad day or just a bloody lucky to get away with just minor injuries and not dyeing.

There are just some days when the Gremlins are on a mission! Put something down, can't find it, turn something on, nothing happens, take a step, trip over, sit on sunglasses, sun out all day, climb a ladder, oops!

You're alive and you're mobile
Good days and bad days are relative to what's going on.
I had a day a few years ago when everything seemed to go wrong.  I turned my ankle and I lost some keys too.  However, it was also a day when a doctor told me that I didn't have cancer.  So I classified that as a good day.  On any other day, turning an ankle and losing keys would probably have been regarded as a bad-ish day.

you need to stop climbing things.

there's no need to in this business.

especially if you already have the WFP setup

Working today and I bumped into Ray the Postie who was in the same school and year as me so aged mid fifties. Looked like Freddy Mercury when he was at school, goofy teeth. Nice chap.

Ray tells me about some of our school year folk. Viz.

Derek. Dead.
Andy (top at school sports), brain tumour has a stairlift.
Billy (excellent at cross country), drugged to bits, stroke.
Successful Kev - big house 5 acres management company, stroke, wheelchair.

Oh well says I at least you and I seem ok.

Look at this he says - pulls up his long shorts to reveal knee supports - he's due a knee replacement and has arthritis in the other; split up from his wife, house being repossessed on Friday, living in a bedsit.

"What a F-ing life!" he says ruefully "I'm truly F'ed" he says shrugging his shoulders. "Good job I never had kids eh?"  :o

"Never mind" says I "You've got your Postie bonus to look forward to, have a holiday!"

"Can't touch it for 5 years" he says, I'll probably be dead by then; if not I'm gonna blow it on the horses!" Laughs and says "See you later! Take it steady!"

I look at DtM and say "That's cheered me up I feel I've done quite well out of life now."

 ;D

LOL these comment made me smile.

I have to use a ladder on the estate I do (with WFP) they are all the same and I have to climb on the balcony to clean the balcony and the first floor.

then at the back I have to use the ladder (with my WFP pole) and climb over the garage to clean the 3 floors.  

I will take some pictures and show you guys tomorrow.
