Bad things happen in ... fours? And talk-about-yourself memeage.:)

[derien]

We'll he having a meme, today.  But first, the news...



Luck has not been favorable for the afternoon shift.  The good news is, J.McG is out of the hospital and home after his heart attack. 

The bad news...

Eff-Eye-El's house caught fire.  Not burned down, mostly smoke damage I guess.

Sign (SC)* had an entanglement with a pickup truck while riding his bike.  He should be back to work today, though on crutches. 

So, we were sitting in the breakroom, and Roil (RD)** said, "Bad things happen in threes.  I hope I'm not the third thing."  Someone told him not to go back out to the checkpoint, just stay in the breakroom out of harm's way, and I said that we'd already had our three because you had to count J.McG.

Yesterday morning Roil's wife called him in sick.  He was in the hospital for emergency gall bladder surgery.  (Though I guess the hospital has to schedule even emergencies, because the surgery is supposed to be today.)

Someone said he had been feeling bad for a few days, so maybe he was getting pretty sure that something was really wrong with him by the time he said that. 

* I chose 'Sign' for SC because he does sign language and also is very into the zodiac stuff. 
** I pulled 'Roil' out of my hat ... well, the only thing I can think of is that RD does like to stir things up a bit.



I promised you a meme, though.  A chance to talk about yourself!  (And remember, anyone can leave comments, you don't have to have a LiveJournal.)

Taken from both bravecows and tronella:
Why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself? Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name on my flist I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she/he wears mismatched socks." I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well.

Being a foreign non-Brazilian type, I have to get an ID card from the federal police within 30 days of arrival here.

Mismatched socks... well, it's more, I just take whichever two socks are nearest to the front of my sock drawer at the time. Saves some effort, since I'm too lazy to pair them up after doing laundry :S
