As technology flourishes, thus does stupidity

If you are one of the five or six people who regularly read this blog you may have noticed I didn’t write yesterday. That is unusual because I usually write something during the week.

The reason was partially because of an on-the-job injury I sustained the day before and the bureaucratic inertia that has prevented me, 46 hours later, from having seen a doctor.

The injuries aren’t serious: an ankle sprain that now mostly hurts when I am standing and a back strain. All of this was caused by the very dangerous combination of walking while performing mathematic calculations on my cell phone. In short, I hit a wall. Literally. My left hand hit the wall first, then my left knee and then my right foot. I fell backwards, trying to turn in order to accomplish a softer landing on my buttocks. But I ended up flat on the floor. Ain’t that the s**ts?

Hopefully all the paperwork can get filled out so I can get checked out by a doc-in-the-box later this afternoon. Oh well, it’s out of my hands.

I better publish this as soon as I can, so … Adidas amigos.  Perhaps a fast goodbye as in tennis shoes?
