Monday - A Series of Mildly Inconvenient Events
13Today is weird.
In the first 30 min of being awake, the following occurred:
- Husband’s tailgate decided to never open again. (Work truck and is only a few months old.)
- Drawer in the refrigerator door fell the f off. OFF. (This drawer held milk. Milk is fine.)
- My sister’s long, Elsa style braid decided to hang out in her coffee for a minute.
What’s weird about your day today?

Boss: You’re not wearing a catshirt today!
Me: I have an extra I can change into.
i learn tulsa backwards is ‘a slut’.
Running late to a morning meeting today I found the traffic on the expressway going unusually slow.
Blaming it on some no-doubt stoned medical marijuana user up front I made my way more towards the front of the pack.
It was a police car, cruising the speed limit. Fortunately my exit came up and I glided off.
@therealjrn Folks act the same around retired police cars too:
@narfcake @therealjrn I gotta git me one of those!!
@lseeber @narfcake That’s exactly what I was thinking after that video!
@lseeber @narfcake @therealjrn Currently weighing the price of being busted for impersonating an officer…
@cinoclav @narfcake @therealjrn Totally worth it!
@cinoclav @lseeber @narfcake @therealjrn would you be wearing break away pants and carrying a boom box?
@cinoclav @lseeber @narfcake @tinamarie1974 And my big, big club.
@cinoclav @lseeber @narfcake @therealjrn
/giphy oh my
@cinoclav @lseeber @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 There are other interesting car choices, y’know.
Both are the same story; just pick your version:
@cinoclav @narfcake @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 Cop car for the win!!
My commute was extra long today due to a carjacking and man hunt for two armed suspects. Fun stuff!
@tinamarie1974 Your car or somebody else’s?
@nolrak oh gosh, not me! Someone else. The whole story sounds shady. But the owners of the car, a man and a woman, were both shot.
I’m a little bit stuck on the logistics of storing milk in a drawer
@nolrak
/image milk shelf in refrigerator door
@nolrak must’ve meant shelf not drawer… unless they were single-serve milk containers…
@medz Yes but that’s a shelf, not a drawer … though I did miss the ‘door’ part of the story. I was picturing one of those drawers over on the right side of the pic holding veggies.
@medz @nolrak A door mounted bucket that holds my milk.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@nolrak Everyone knows that the drawers are for batteries.
Everyone. Knows. This.
E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E.
WTF (sorry @carl669 - WT FUCK) is wrong with people?!?
@carl669
@medz @nolrak @Thumperchick now I’m even more confused
A door mounted bucket??? The fuck?
To hold your milk??? Do you pour it in and dispense from the front?
@carl669
@llangley @medz @nolrak
/giphy magic, yo

/giphy milk-dispenser
@llangley @medz Apparently, milk is exciting!
@medz @nolrak @Thumperchick
@llangley @lseeber
/giphy exciting-milk
@llangley that’s fancy.
@lseeber @medz
Indeed.
/youtube raw milk pants
@llangley wtf.
@llangley @medz Aww. Poor doggie does not look pleased! Love the hairbands on the goats! Beats lipstick.
Cat pooped all over the side of her litter box so I had to take it outside and clean it completely. It seems she’s an acrobatic pooper lately.
@tnhillbillygal If I ever have a band, “Aerobatic Poopers” is going to be the name
I keep reading the topic as a “Series of Mildly Incontinent Events”
@therealjrn Good thing a lot of people just received their poo-pourri
@therealjrn
Plumbing at those units you manage/maintain got you down again?
@f00l “maintain”? What is that?
@nolrak @therealjrn Depends on Depends.
@therealjrn that would be this part:
@therealjrn
/giphy to dream the improbable dream
Sry, nothing to report here. Eleven bells and all is well!
I normally work at my hospital from 7-3. Today I was asked to go to our outpatient center, which doesn’t open until 8, to cover from open to noon. I had a patient scheduled at the hospital at 1 pm. Mind you, the outpatient center is about midway between home and the hospital, which is 38 miles away. So I work until noon, leave to go to the hospital, grab some crap food to eat in the car on the way, arrive and hurry up and finish all the quality control that has to be done before I can see my patient. My ordered doses come 20 minutes late so the patient has to wait. After explaining the exam and trying to get her crotchety self up on the table, she decides she isn’t doing it. I spent another 10 minutes trying to talk her into it ‘for the good of her health’ but she keeps trying to wheel her locked wheelchair out the door. Oh well, I did my part. See you in the ER ma’am. Of course now I’m stuck here for an extra hour to make up the late start and I’m much further from home. Smh…
@cinoclav
@cinoclav @tinamarie1974 Isn’t there some sort of health concern having a goat in a hospital?
@cinoclav @nolrak @tinamarie1974
This Goat scrubs down.
/giphy goat scrub
@cinoclav @nolrak @tinamarie1974
not if it’s a therapy goat

Yeah. I think I’ll contribute.
Backstory
June 8, tibial plateau fracture. Hurts worse than it sounds.
Last Thursday orthopedic says I can walk, it’s a miracle. Still gotta wear the brace, probable knee damage.
Last Friday I took the note from the Dr. office and got my handicap tag for my mirror.
Here is the mildly inconvenient Monday part.
Team building event- day at the ball park. Drive to the Kernals stadium, having looked up where their handicapped parking is and find it full. All 60 handicap parking spaces taken. Parking lot guy tells me I gotta move on. Says I should go park at the local high school, 3/4 of a mile away and Uber to the front door.
Overall, unexpected and mildly inconvenient.
I should probably blame a GoaT.
@JnKL terrible. Hope you heal ok!
@tinamarie1974 the bone is healed. Physical therapy started today. I’ll recover.
@JnKL
@JnKL You say that now, but that PT crew all studied under Torquemada. They’ll fix any illusions of 'survival ’ you may have.
@JnKL Congratulations on your good luck…
As a PA student, I assisted on a total knee replacement [TKR] on a 33-y/o male who had had to undergo several prior fracture revision surgeries to attempt to restore his previously functional knee and relieve his pain- all without success.
He had originally fractured his tibial plateau at age 28.
They really tried to get him walking and comfortable without resorting to the TKR at his “young” age…
So again, Congratulations on your good fortune.
…and you’re right about the pain being worse than it sounds, or looks…
The TKR did work
@PhysAssist at my young age of 52 I really wanted to avoid TKR. And, having literally one appointment left for physical therapy for my rotator cuff repair, I feel it is my best interest to do pretty much exactly what the orthopedic and the physical therapist tell me to do. Nine months later the only limited range I still experience with my shoulder is hiking my hand up the middle of my back. Which is useful when you have an itch.
@JnKL Sounds painful to me. Anything on the shin bone sends shivers… not the good kind.
I also had one of those drawer/bucket/shelf things fall off the fridge upper door a few yrs back. It was full of cans of soda and fell right smack on the first 2 toes of each bare foot of mine. Dropped me to my knees in .01 seconds gasping for breath. My husband was in the other room yelling… “what’s wrong, what happened?” (but not bothering to get out of his chair). All 4 toenails smashed, bleeding and ended up losing all the nails. The 2 on my big toes never grew back correctly. Very painful. Be glad you weren’t standing there barefoot when it happened!
@lseeber
@therealjrn Ain’t that the truth! Sensuizup.
@lseeber
I know of a woman whose “affectionate nickname”
for her husband is “the talking furniture”.
@f00l lol. I’ve heard a few good ones over the yrs.
I went to a junk yard today to buy a hood to repair a wrecked car. I expected to arrive say i called earlied for a hood and give them cash and leave with the hood. Unfortunately the junkyard was in Gaston County and nothing could be that simple. So now I have to drive to Atlanta to conduct a simple transaction.
@cranky1950 It’s enough to make one cranky.
