I'm trying to be good about the painkillers, but right now I'm partially drugged, as I try to get Isaac's box second-read in time for him to take it down to Production by 2:00. (Not the most interesting of our jobs here, to say the least---though sometimes there's an absorbing paper that draws me in. None in this box so far, though. "A Free Boundary Problem Modelling the Electrolysis of Aluminum" just isn't doing it for me.)

The drugging is for my chronically lousy shoulder, a condition exascerbated by my falling flat on my face the other day. Got X-rayed yesterday, in anticipation of a visit to the Spine Clinic later this month. I like that name---Spine Clinic. I picture spines walking in the door (or floating, more like); spines sitting in a waiting room; spines perched, with varying curvatures, on the ends of examination tables, barely making indentations in the protective paper that keeps your ass (or the end of your spine) from touching the actual vinyl.

it seems to me...

that we ladies need to steer clear of brandon. see, you, bethany, and i all have varying degrees of pain in our varying joints. you in the shoulder, bethany in her hip, and me in my knee. it's strange that we all know brandon, and he is the connection between us. funny though, i always thought brandon was just a pain in the ass. i had no idea he covered so much territory.

You got me giggling, girl. Hey, I fucked up my knees falling, too, but they're just all bruised and sore---and TWO women at this workplace have had to have knee surgery this summer (the problems developed during Brandon's first year here). Both are still out recovering.

i think he's shifty. but i don't suppose he had me listed as a reference to call on his resumé. typical. i could have warned you. because when i was working with him in the writing center, i broke my ankle. and i have my suspicions that this knee problem is a result of that injury.

A Google search for the words "brandon" "joint" and "injuries" results in over 5000 hits.
