So, today was made of suck and fail...

I got off the bus at work, and in the driveway of the hotel, stepped on a rock, and twisted my ankle. I pitched forward, and reflexively tried to catch myself, leading to scraped hands. I also failed to catch myself, my face impacting the concrete. What makes me really sad is that no one saw it. No one ran to catch me, or pick me up. I had to call the office and ask if someone would come out and help me. Mihir, the new boss did. He was very nice about the whole thing. Helped me in, let me clean up, and made out an incident report. My ankle still hurts like hell, but it's getting better. I have a bad scrape on the side of my left hand. I feel achy, like you sometimes get after a wreck. Like everything clenched. If I touch my face, it hurts, but not unless I touch. If I am lucky, I won't bruise. My face wasn't scraped. Mihir offered to let me go home, but there was no one there to pick me up, and I decided to stay and make some money, and not make Erica stay two hours late. He let me get out a chair. I'm thinking about calling in today (Tues) though. I'll see how I feel. If much better, I'll go in.

Disappointed

Found out that the Phelps clan was in town, doing their usual jackassery. I'm sad because I did not know they were here, and if I had known, I'd have surely found a way to show up, and help turn that into a circus they wouldn't have liked. (Daytona can make some mighty amusing circuses.) I mean...Wouldn't that be an awesome counter protest? Protesting the Phelps stupidity with bare boobies?

I can happily claim that for that, my Mom would have handed over the bail money. Bwahahaa! Wouldn't that have been a fun call from the jail too? "Yeah, Mom? I need bail money. No, I'm fine. I just counter protested those assholes that protest soldiers funerals by going topless. Yep, just like when you were young."

I will say that I was amused and pleased by this quote: Richard Ellwanger said he was flattered that they were protesting First Baptist. "I think it's terrific," Ellwanger said. "They're protesting what God is all about. God loves everybody. It must mean our church is doing something right."

What kills me is the fact these fanatics took time from a *vacation* to squeeze this in. Fucking jerks.
