Yesterday I was eating a teeny tiny delicious cupcake.
And yesterday I fell onto a hardwood floor after going to help my work
colleague who split his head on the gutters of a bowling lane.
Yeah I wish I stopped at the cupcake.
We were all having a really good day yesterday.
My team were getting along.
They were laughing and cheering each other.
My colleague went up to the black line threw down his ball, lost his balance and then smacked
hard on the ground.
I ran towards him to help him up and then saw the gush of blood coming
from his head and then I slipped on the floor and hit my head but thankfully I didn’t
split anything. I dragged him away from the lane and his blood and sat him down
in a sit where the rest of my colleagues then
went to his aid.
That aside I didn’t like the comments that followed after the incident…
one person was laughing and joking that she should have videotaped it and sent
it to Australia’s Funniest Videos to win some cash, and another (a staffer from
the bowling centre) said he saw it and laughed so hard.
I said to both that I didn’t find anything funny about someone having blood
gushing from his head, and me holding ice to my head to help with the massive
headache I was dealing with.
I don’t care how funny it looked, standing there and doing nothing, makes
me want to slap you hard.
My team did well. Two of my staffers went with him to the hospital and
stayed with him until he was discharged, and my branch manager went to visit
him in hospital to make sure he was ok.
The same branch manager checked in with me and was genuine in her
concern for my wellbeing which was quite touching. I have never had a boss do
that before and it was quite surreal but nice.
Today my back is sore and my neck is stiff but I’m doing better than my
colleague, who now has a 13 centimetre smiley face on the top of his head. It is in the shape of a
smiley face.
Now that I can smile at.
