Bloody hell.
Dislocated thumb by hockey stick.
Sounds tough but actually hurt less than stubbing my toe.
Thanks, Panadeine Forte!
So now I'm typing this with one hand.
My left hand, of course.
The right hand is wrapped in a special OT-melted cast and velcro to protect my Jurgen Balls.
For three weeks.
Hence, everything I write now will be severely curtailed into
bad poetry.

An explanation of The Joy Division Litmus Test
Although it may now be lost in the mysts of thyme, the poll below is still relevant to this blog. In the winter of 2008, Mele and I went to live in Queensland. In order to survive, I bluffed my way into a job at a Coffee Club.
It was quite a reasonable place to work: the hours were regular, the staff were quite nice, it wasn't particularly taxing on my brain.
There were a few downsides: In the six weeks or so that I worked there, there was about a 90% staff turnover (contributed to by my leaving). This wasn't seen as a result of the low pay, the laughability of staff prices or the practice of not distributing tips to staff, rather it was blamed on the lack of work ethic among Bribie Island's youth.
However, one of the stranger aspects of the cultural isolation that touched our lives during our time "up there" was the fact that nobody at my work had heard of the band Joy Division.
The full explanation is available here.
But please, interact a little further and vote in my ongoing poll. The results are slowly mounting up, proving one thing: people read this blog are more well-informed about Joy Division than anyone who works at the Coffee Club on Bribie Island.

ReplyDeleteOoooh. Hurties!
ReplyDelete...but hey, at least you weren't NAKED....
*snap* I have a sprained left thumb. doesn't bother me too much, being right-handed, but unhooking the clothing is a hassle.
ReplyDeleteJurgen balls! They look worse than the dislocation.
ReplyDeleteDan - Yes, I am Captain Popular at the moment. At least I didn't move to Melbourne ...
ReplyDeleteKath - Who says I wasn't?
River - Actually, it was more of a *thump*
Jono - They're nothing to do with the op, I just refused to give away our position to the enemy and so they screwed a couple in there ...
Sook, it didn't look that bad. From memory, you were showing it off to anyone that would look - like the true hockey player should - on ya mate.
ReplyDeleteNah, seriously, I hope it heals well, as things that don't never help you out in the long run.
Hope you're on the mend.
ReplyDeleteWho says there is 'good' poetry?
I do, I can direct you to some if you'd like.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you have Jurgen Balls? Is there a pin holding your toe straight? And why?
ReplyDeleteThumb...
ReplyDeleteBugger! My own sore thumb has flared up so off I went to the doctor. He sent me for x-rays. He seems to think it's not sprained at all, he thinks I have arthritis which is flaring up every time I bump or bend it wrong.
