Man, what a terrible week this has turned out to be. At the beginning of the week I had a job interview on a job I believe I am qualified for and had experience doing as I had done other jobs of nearly the same thing though on a different scale (more computers to monitor but also I wouldn't have been the ONLY one doing the job like I had been in previous companies).
Late Wednesday I heard rumblings that the two positions had been filled and I hadn't heard anything, leading to a downer of a night while I waited for official confirmation. Next day I email the company and find out that in fact the positions had been filled the night before. Ok, I'm quite disappointed as it would have been more what I want to do for work, more money and steady hours.
So that left me in a slump on Thursday. On friday though, I woke up early, decided to walk to work. Get all ready, plug the headphones into my tablet and start walking.
Or, I tried to. Going down 5 steps seemed to be more than I could handle. In my defense the steps are cement and have some chunks taken out of them. Sadly, I lost my footing on one of them and managed to twist my ankle into a horrible looking (and feeling) angle, putting an end to my planned day.
Nearly seven hours later, I find out the end result (Canadian medical is free but painfully slow, in my case, literally painfully slow): I managed to break one bone in my ankle, a minor break in the other one and a few tense minutes as a specialist at another hospital decided if I needed immediate surgery or not. Currently I don't need it, but for the next week I have no cast while they see how it tries to fix itself and to reduce the swelling. After that week, i'll either end up in surgery if it's bad or a cast otherwise. Then a couple weeks after I have to go visit the specialist and see how it's going.
People seem to be fond of saying things come in three, I'm really hoping there's no more bad news coming. I'm not sure I'll survive that one.
