Three Days Ago

I learned what a marvelous modern miracle this whole "Workman's Comp" arrangement is. From the moment I splatted flat on the hard linoleum floor of my classroom to the second I limped pathetically into the ER at St. Joseph's Hospital, all the financial worries that go with destroying one's leg on the job are magically whisked away by the Workman's Comp fairy. If you're going to suffer a painful, life-altering injury, I highly recommend doing so at work!
