So, I'm at work, and finally have a day where I have 20 actual minutes to eat lunch....... I don't have my lunch.. I packed it.
Not sure if it is out in my truck in the garage.... which I don't have time to go to... or left on the counter at home. Here is the bummer part. I'm here until 8pm.. I'm missing lunch AND dinner.
I have some hazel nuts, that will have to get me through.
Ok, the REAL reason I'm writing. You know that saying..... "I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy"? Well, I actually have occasion to test whether I really mean that. Someone I work with, -many of you know of this woman- could truly be considered my "worst enemy" at my current job. Seven years of hell and trouble with her have left me not too sympathetic.
That is until now. This woman suffered a traumatic fall and is currently paralyzed from the neck down. There is hope she might regain some mobility as her condition is "incomplete". Which means her spinal cord was damaged, but not severed.
I DO know I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I feel very badly for her situation. I also look at my work situation with some guilt, as I am relieved at the potential of not having to deal with her.
So, now that my biggest news of late. Actually there is tons more, but most of it is stuff I try not to talk about on this.
I'm off to work..... cold fusion waits for no one! (too bad it's on an empty stomach!)

Man, a long day and no food. That's the worst! (she said as she stuffed baked potatoe and chicken in her mouth).
I hope you're not still beating yourself up over the injured colleague. There are plenty of other things that you actually had a hand in to beat yourself up about.
Ok. That doesn't sound right. I hope you know what I mean...
Glad you survivied the day and the week.
Oh my gosh! Of course you would never wish that on someone, but it is natural to feel the lift of not having to deal with her on a daily basis! Definitely don't beat yourself up! What a sad thing for her, or anybody.
Sorry to hear about the lack of food. I hope you survived it okay.
I hate when I forget about food, especially when you can't exactly order out somewhere cheap.
You shouldn't feel guilty about your co-worker. As horrible as that is you didn't cause it. I know you feel sorry for her but you can't help that life will probably be better for you at work now. Another result that is out of your control- luckily this is a positive thing.
