OH! I have something silly! Or at least not as serious as the current character discussions. So, the little Aussie Sheppard is finally available for adoption (they keep them for several days, hoping an owner will show up). They don't have a pic of her on the web site yet, but they've named her...(wait for it)...Laomi. ... Seriously? That is not a good dog name at all! It is pretty, but it is very hard to sound stern when you're saying it. Besides, my sister's name is Naomi...it would get too confusing...

Er, no.

I reckon Mojo would be a great name for a dog.

That's ok, you won't have to actually call her that once she's yours

Oh! Oh! Baby boy just walked right across the kitchen!!!! WooHood!!! *happy dance*

Yes, Will should call Helen 'Helen'. I agree wholeheartedly there.

I just got back from the NHS walk-in centre. Pulled the tendon in my ankle... when I was sitting at Jumble's kitchen table... She called it a "sports injury" For future reference, warm up properly before you watch any SG-1 (or any Stargate actually). I've got to rest it for 6 weeks (as best I can) and take anti-inflammatory medicine.
I'm glad I went today because I'm too stubborn... I would've just carried on forcing it to do stuff.

Edit: Yay Baby-boy!

And I think I've figured out what my advent ones are gonna be too. Resting means more time to play on PS, too

Does that mean you're actually taking time off work Wendy *gives stern Mom look*

Not unless my GP gives me a note on Monday. Otherwise, I've still got to go to work. But... I can sit at work. And dad said he would drive me to work instead of me walking.

Hm. I guess that's not too bad, but it wood be better if your doc signs you off for a week so you can rest it properly. Just don't tell him that you can sit down at work

I won't tell him that. Actually, I'll tell him I work in a Petrol Station and, really, I should be able to use both feet.

Good! A week off work will help it heal quicker and you'll be more able to work the following week without being in constant pain

As long as it doesn't get me whinged at But nothing I can do about it.

Ignore that! You've got an injury that needs time to heal and you're entitled to time off! It's not like you did it on purpose or doing a dumb dangerous thing like bungee jumping..... you weren't bungee jumping in my kitchen were you? I'm sure just sitting in my kitchen can't be considered dangerous....... can it?

You work to live not live to work. As my old personnel manager used to say "we sell beans, not save lives". Trust me, they may moan about you being off but you'll get no thanks for coming in either and it won't earn you brownie points to store up for future use. Plus, I know good old JS and life in their petrol stations and there's no way you'll be off your feet all day... and you probably need to keep it elevated too and you're going to look mighty silly with one leg cocked up on the counter nudging the emergency shut off button.

And if it's not clear - milk it for all you can, tell your doc there's no way you can rest it at work and he NEEDS to sign you off.

I assure you I was not bungee jumping. I was watching TV like a good WooHoo

If I did damage it doing something dangerous, they wouldn't even pay me sick pay. So, I'm glad it wasn't that.

at that image.

You're right. I will try not to worry about it. Though I genuinely don't care about earning points with them because it's never happened that way. I do care about being moaned at, and/or losing money. Especially so close to Christmas
