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.

I wear mismatched socks?
Also... I really have to register with the federal police soon.

You have to register with the federal police? I thought that was only sex offenders.

Do you wear mismatched socks as a regular thing, and choose quite different colors on purpose, or only near misses when you can't find matches?

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

My father bought the three tan booklets for D&D that preceeded the release on the boxed basic set, and he drew up a huge, intricate dungeon and was my first DM.

Even though I know they're terrible, I still re-read Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar novels.

But, I do my best to only buy or eat Fair Trade chocolate.

I am massively absent-minded, sometimes because I really am so absorbed in thinking about other things that I forget, but sometimes it's 'cos I have just got so used to it that I don't bother paying attention even when I know I should.

e. g., I have been known to keep oranges on my window sill until mould started growing on them (when you picked them up there was this greeny-grey dust on the sill). I'm not sure which brand of absent-mindedness caused this, though -- I think a combination of the two.

I used to wear unpaired socks, and took a little quiet joy in it.
Today, I am pleased with myself for scoring Birkenstock Licensed footware on sale for $5.00-----NEW

Enquring minds want to know: how are things are in Porttown......

I'm actually an alien. Pretty good disguise huh?

The problem with this question is that as soon as i read it anything that could say about myself flies out the window and therefore i can never decide what to say.

Hmm... i'm an aussie... though i suspect that you already knew that

Hello, I'm shoeless half the time and right now my hair is the exact same colour as my dress.

I'm sorry to hear about all the nasty stuff that's been happening. Ick. Hugs to everybody there... even though they don't know me... do it anyway, it's fun to get anonymous hugs. :)
