Posting this partly to wallow in self pity but also to prevent anyone being as daft as me 🤦♀️.
I was on a teams call at work yesterday evening and I suddenly fell over and landed hard on the floor. My (cheap-y) home office chair had collapsed - it has one of those gas powered single legs that had snapped right off the seat. I've no idea what my colleagues heard - but thank F@&€ I didn't have video turned on - which we often do 😳😳😳 - can you imagine.
Anyway I was in agony so went to injury clinic - I've damaged my shoulder so will need an MRI. And I've loads of bruises. On painkillers so not too sore now but I woke up an hour ago and can't go back to sleep.
The awful coincidence is that I handed in my notice yesterday which was a whole other drama so I don't want to tell my boss. I hope this isn't some karma thing that I shouldn't be leaving the job 😐.
It's not just that I'm sore, but I'm very upset with myself cos I've put on a load of weight during lockdown which I'm sure didn't help. And the chair has been creaking for ages and I ignored it.
So if you're working from home please check your chair is ok. And if anyone has similarly embarrassing stories that make me feel less of an eejit I would greatly appreciate them 😬.
