Having one of those life sucks weeks. Just in a funk and the prospect of no vacation this summer is really bumming me out.
All I wanna do is lay on the beach or go to a fest. Blah. So minor in comparison to everyone else's problems, but I just needed to get it out into the world instead of bottling it up.
Jaz sedona is awesome. Cathedral rock and devil's bridge are fun, scenic hikes. And there is a lot to see just driving around.
I hurt my ankle really bad last night playing ultimate. Quickly cut laterally, and a dude caught his foot under my shin on the leg that was planted behind me and then essentially tackled me. And I twisted to the ground, but my foot, firmly planted in the ground, didn't give. Heard a pop and felt excruciating pain and released a torrent of curses. It almost immediately swelled to baseball size. There was an off duty nurse at the fields, and she took care of me. I felt bad she had to peel off my cleats and sweaty socks, I did just do padicures with my kiddo last weekend so at least my toes looked good. None of the urgent care places near me were open/offered x-rays at 1030, so I just went home. Probably only got about 2 hours of sleep. Very painful. And I hate crutches. Gonna be a long day.

Im sure you know this already, but get to the orthopedic ASAP. I always worry when someone says they heard a pop in an ankle or knee.

Just the AT in me coming out.
On my way now. Didn't want to go to ER because my grad student insurance is pretty pathetic. But I get free x-rays on campus and an orthopedic referral if it's more than the sports med guys can handle.

Good luck dude. Hope it's just a bad sprain. Make sure to let that thing heal all the way before you start running around again. Ankles will nag you forever if you try to do too much.

so, nothing broken! gotta wait for confirmation from the off-site radiologist, but looks like just a pretty severe sprain. I got a cool boot though. It has an air bladder in it and reminds me of these:

Good to hear, your snap looks horrible and painful.

Today has been one big L for this guy.
I had a phone interview this morning for a full-time position with the university I am graduating from in two or three weeks. I thought it went well; I was expecting it to be more of "Tell me about yourself - what is your weakness" type of questions, but they were very direct with questions involving the position....I felt good about it though. *You will see why I brought this up soon.*
While eating lunch, I check for Bonnaroo prices on Stubhub (I have a $50 gift card I plan on using for my Roo ticket)...I see that somebody had just posted tickets at $100 less than what the lowest price was currently. I get excited, pull up the checkout screen and try to type in my gift card code. Not taking it. I have to communicate with online support, as they have to transfer manually the $50 to my account (something about a pin number). Once that process was complete, the tickets were gone.
Little later in the day one of the GTA's (who nobody really likes...for good reasons) comes to me and says she has ordered pizza for her class and she can't pick it up because of some unexpected meeting and they can't get it delivered in time for her class. I didn't have a lot going on, so I caved and made the pickup for her...only to run into traffic on the way back and scramble on campus with three large pizzas to make the exchange.
Lastly, I get home from campus and have to rush and cleanup to meet a friend who was passing thru on his way to Richmond...and I remember right before I get in the shower that I hadn't sent a thank you email to the search committee who interviewed me this morning. I created a short & sweet message and sent it along. While I was out, I was playing on my phone and decided to re-read that email again and make sure it actually sent. I noticed in the email I wrote "exited" while I meant to say "excited"...in which I almost had a breakdown. Called a buddy who is an HR manager just to get his opinion, he thought with it being addressed to three people and it being a short message I could play it off by sending a revised email saying it was meant for draft mode and was sent inadvertently. He helped me craft an eloquent message to follow that, but I feel like I just killed any opportunity I had to get the position. Writing is involved so of course grammar is a factor.

I'm just glad today is over.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I really doubt they are going to change their mind in who to hire based on a one letter typo in a thank you email.
Interestingly enough, I went to a workshop yesterday about "branding yourself" and we actually talked a bit about emailing from your phone, and typos that ensue. (I'm sure you're fine too!)
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

So, polls open in 20 minutes and I was just double checking where I have to go to vote now. Turns out my address change hasn't been processed by the board of elections yet and it still has me at my parents address. At first I think no big deal, works out better since that polling place is closer to work. Then I realize that my address on my ID is my new address. Now I'm worried I'm going to get turned away at both polling places.

That stinks. Voting should not be made so difficult.

NY has no ID requirement, you'll just be asked for you name and address, so no worries

Just checked headcount for NY:
What forms of ID are acceptable?
Current and valid photo identification Current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows the voter’s name and address.
In 9 days i am moving and will not have internet access where I am going. My laptop is limping along with an accessory keyboard and a mouse that stops working every so often requiring me to remove the battery and restart..so taking it to a wifi hotspot will be a pain. Guess I will be going back to the 1980s?

Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Sad preamble to set up this grr: My girlfriend broke up with me last summer. She had some things going on that would prevent a healthy relationship existing between the two of us and I really appreciated that she had the guts to tell me about it. It was very difficult and sad for both of us but ultimately for the better. We've remained friends and it's going pretty well. I do actually enjoy being around her when we hang out (infrequently) but I do occasionally have a twinge of sadness about the whole thing.
Anyway. We both work at the same massive company. This week corporate/HR rolled out their new, I dunno, employee well-being program. One of the posters for this thing is a picture of my ex-girlfriend riding a scooter around the office. And they're fucking everywhere. So every time I enter the building or get on the elevator or walk to a different floor I get to see a giant photo of the woman I used to be in love with. It's like a damn Seinfeld episode or something.
This isn't a full-on grr because I mostly think it's funny. Still though... not always easy to be reminded of a failed relationship whenever you walk to the cafeteria.

That's rough stuff especially since I bet she looks really happy with that scooter.

Ugh. She's having the time of her life. It's terrible.

Yeah one of my exes who I genuinely loved more than anyone so far just got out of rehab. I haven't seen her in two years since she went to another rehab and she asked me to pick her up from an NA meeting the other day. Seeing her felt so fucking great, we still had all of our same inside jokes and the chemistry was all there still. While she was telling me a story, I had a moment where I was fighting back tears as I looked in her eyes. This was the girl who I thought I would eventually marry and my parents and all my family loved her and thought I'd marry as well. Her Dad even said he gives me permission to wife her before I even asked. I just realized how much I missed her when we were hanging out. We got Tim Hortons and just shot the shit for a good couple hours, I felt so happy, but I can't pursue that in anyway because shes only got like a month clean and has a lot of shit to work out with herself. Shit sucks

Damn, that's a tough one dude. I'm glad to hear your friend is doing better though. Hopefully there is a future for you two somewhere on down the line.
