glass doors for the lose :/

[TdC]

Yesterday I got called out due to a power failure in one of the facilities I work at. It was indeed very dark and hot, and I managed to run full pelt into a glass door :/
I bounced off it, nearly passed out, nearly threw up, discovered I'd broken my glasses so I couldn't see properly and that I'd managed to cut/split my eyebrow like boxers do and was bleeding like only a head wound can :/

Resisting the urge to shout "Adrian!!! AAAADRIAAAAN!!!!", I managed to clean myself up and tried to ignore the jibes from my coworker, who's a kickboxer, and was getting his own back for all the times I've taken the piss out of his occasional black eyes and other facial scarring

There's a lesson in there somewhere

 

[Mobius]

Ohh, ouch. I bit my tongue eating a walnut whip last night so I can sympathize.

 

[Starman]

Look where you are going...

 

[Skyler]

I ran into a mosquito net in Canada once...

 

[TdC]

I was but it was rather dark :/

A shade of irony resides in the fact that I was running towards the cabinet where we keep the maglites :/

 

[Clown]

You were running because you're scared of the dark. Admit it!
You seen that film 'Pulse'?

 

[Lazarus]

get the bastards to put handles on the doors !!!!

 

[Rubber Bullets]

Sounds painful Teeds, you have my sympathy*, but perhaps you can take some solace from the fact that if the glass had broken then it could have been an awful lot worse.

*Having not bitten my tongue eating a walnut whip I can not empathise I'm afraid.

heh they're 2" thick, so if I'd have gone through I'd prolly have taken a bite out of the nearest steel girder to top it off cheers though.

 

[Huntingtons]

i hope the lesson you learned was dont run! or even better, dont work!

 

[ECA]

Clearly the glass doors won this round, when is the rematch scheduled for?

 

[TdC]

heh I'm not in Jackass If I never smack my head into a glass wall again it will be too soon o0

 

[Sparx]

hhahahahahahahahaahaha

 

[TdC]

*ban sparx*

Ohh, ouch. I bit my tongue eating a walnut whip last night so I can sympathize.

hahha that made me laugh more than it should have tbh

 

[Chilly]

hhahahahahahahahaahaha

So true

 

[Guest]

why were you runnnig full pelt INSIDE??????

 

[Lazarus]

was it like a Golf tdc - 0-60.............................eventually

 

[TdC]

because I was about to lose something that cost a lot of money :/


and Laz:

 

[Chilly]

Did you save the day, and a trip to the corner shop for a new database farm?

 

[TdC]

well, I had everything that wasn't production turned off anyway so losses are slight. I have yet to have a full inventory done now that everything is on again. Most of my machines that did actually get too hot powered themselves down automatically after ambient temps were out of bounds for too long, which is nice considering that the air temp was 49C o0

I was going to ask "why weren't you using a torch?".

Sounds like the location of the maglites needs changing, eh ?

Take solice from the fact that at the precise moment it happened, someone else, who lives far away from you, did something really clever.




You should get one of those echo-locator devices and strap it onto your nogin.
