what were you doing on the counter anyway? isn't that against health code somehow??

yeah, probably. but it's the only way to reach any of the windows, so we all do it all the time. when we got there, it was freezing in the kitchen, cuz they forgot to close the window last night. so i climbed on the counter to close it, but when i went to jump down, one of my co-workers was in the way. so i thought, well if i just swing around and jump down this way, i'll avoid april. yeah, no. i fell and landed on april and the counter. my bum (actually upper thigh), got the brunt of it, and now it's bright blue/purple, has a super huge bump, and hurts when i sit cuz i put pressure on it, hurts when i cross my legs to take pressure off it cuz that stretches it, and hurts when i stand on that leg for too long. it's delightful.
