Shit happens

No, not to me this time. I was just up at the homemaker centre ordering curtains (Dollar Curtains) and cancelling my gym membership at Fernwood. Both masseuses were at the gym chatting away - Collingwood Carolyne is quite happy to work on me even if I'm not a member. The original one, Sandra, who cut her hand open while chopping chicken is still off work. She basically said "it's all over" for her. She held her hand out to show us the wound (still bandaged), and her hand couldn't stop shaking. Life really sucks sometimes. It makes you realise how important every bit of your body is, and how fragile job security is for the self-employed. I have 35 days sick leave, and a job I can do sitting down, with minimal physical effort. She has nothing. No job, no business, nada.
