Wow. Message of the day is if you are stupid enough to fall on rollerblades with a 20 pound backpack going over 15km/h and catch yourself on one hand, maybe you should stay off rollerblades for a bit. Definately, under no circumstances should you rollerblade to work 2 days later. Odds are good you will fall face first and land on the same hand causing really quite surprising amounts of pain.
Trust me. I know this from experience.
I also have learned that I prefer a kind-hearted but dimwitted supervisor-guy to a more competent but "you will bend over backwards for me or I will act like a spoiled child" one. Given our team, each member with 2 or more years of experience with different supervisors, has more total experience than he does it strikes me as odd he woudl chose to be an idiot.
Fortunately, a kind hearted friend of mine took myself and my coworker into her place to watch "Mean Girls" (which is an INCREDIBLE movie... I liked it bunches... if you like that sort of thing) while aforementioned supervisor-guy was out at a goodbye party for the electrician. She also had lemonade; I love lemonade.
In case anyone was wondering, karaoke was fabulous. I, thanks to some... interesting choices by the DJ, opened with Weird Al's "Amish Paradise." Great song... notsomuch an instant karaoke classic. He and I then went on to discuss how many "classic" 80's tunes have been used in movies, covered, or both in the past decade or so. Nostalgia for all, it seems. He kinda suggested I should join the karaoke host business. It would amuse me to start up a "choir boys' karaoke co." but I'm not sure the world is ready.
On a green-thumbish note, once upon a time there was a housewarming at my current residence. A certain plant was brought as a house-warming gift but it lost its flowers after a bit of inclement weather. I am pleased to say that, under my caring hand, it has come back to life.
BEHOLD!
Go, me.

A friend of mine was a karaoke host for a while. He said the most annoying part was women running up and insisting he do Paradise by the Dashboard Light with them. Inside he would think "So you want me to do eight minutes of Meat Loaf so you can come in for one minute at the end," but outside he could only say "Sure! Absolutely!"
I will look into this health care thing.
