What goes 'step, step, wheeeeeeee, BONK BONK BONK'?


That would be me. I just had a bit of an adventure on the stairs. biggrin.gif

It seems that the cleaner had been mopping them and, on my way back from a coffee run to the canteen, I slipped on the wet steps and descended very, very quickly. Amazingly, the four hot drinks I was holding remained relatively vertical and mostly full, as did I and the only major injury suffered was to my right sleeve, which is now damp and smells suspiciously like coffee. That said, my left ankle is a bit sore, now! I may have twisted it slightly. bleh.gif

The irony of it all was that we saw the cleaner mopping on the way up the stairs and, although she hadnt put out one of these signs up:



my colleague and I both commented on the wetness of the floor and the lack of signage and how careful we should both be and how if one of us slipped we could sue for gajillions!. And then down I went! Yay! blankstare.gif

Please post your messages of condolence, sympathy and support below. Thank you. thumbsup.gifnod.gif

Why thank you. It's nice to know that someone cares. I got suprisingly little sympathy in the office, considering I saved the drinks!

Blimey mate - hope you didnt hurt yourself - hows the ankle?

I know how JDK feels - all those who are really fit will know what a pain in the neck even a small injury can be - hope you're OK for training matey!

The cleaner needs a really good talking too - that could have been properly dangerous!

If it was real coffee, (like Folgers, for instance) you did a good job saving it and a sore ankle is a small cost to pay...If it was some of that sissy coffee, like Starbucks or some other rotgut, what was the point of going after it in the first place?...Folgers (no cream or sugar please) has a purpose in a well-rounded life...coffeemachine.gif...Starbucks may work for clearing a clogged drain but even that is doubtful...toilet.gif...Ben

Just how many gajillions are you claiming?  Don't forget the extra g7.5j for you not being able to compete in the next Olympic games nod.gif

Poor Dazza ... I will give lots of tea and sympathy tonight smile

If this sort of thing happened in my line of work we would have immediate safety briefings and everybody would be given lessons in walking and carrying stuff, we would also never be allowed to go upstairs again... or drink coffee... or wash floors!

It's ok. I've been distracted from my agony (ahem) by a programme called 'My Big Breasts And Me'. Yay. I think.
