Being a Canadian, I?m not one to go out and sue someone for some silly reason. However, today, the thought seriously crossed my mind as I took a small chunk out of my knee at a local Macdonald?s.
I went there today for lunch since I had to get gas and I was getting my car re-inspected due to the tires failing the last time. I gave them my order and then decided I was going to chuck some of the garbage in the front of the car into the garbage can along the side of the drive thru. Of course, I step out of my car, and WHAMMO! Slipped, and banged the hell out of my knee, big time. I got the garbage thrown out and hobbled back to my car where it hurt like a sonofabitch.
Took a good look at my knee and it wasn?t gushing by any means, but there was blood, and within minutes, it turned a pretty awful bluish purple color. I got back to work and bandaged it up. The whole time, I?m thinking, ?I should sue those bastards for not taking better care of their driveway?. But of course, I won?t. I?ll bitch about it instead. So much for being assertive. A serious assertive person would have gone into the store and spoke to the manager. But, for me, it was too much effort as I didn?t want to deal with some young kid trying to apologize asking me if I?d like fries with my scuffed knee. So instead, I?m putting it on here and getting my frustrations out this way and I?ll live with the bruises.
In other news, Tamara looks as if she may be catching whatever it is that I have. This of course is unfortunate but such is life. At least we can be ill together right honey? Her mom?s big party is this weekend and we should have a house filled with plenty of people and we are hoping to have a good turnout. We need to make a stop at Costco tonite to get some stuff for it, and then do a little cleanup around the house before calling it a night.
On that note folks, I think I?m going to sit back, enjoy my afternoon, drink my Coke, and be glad I?m Canadian. How about you?
