workplace shenanigans...

so last night i took the teen to kfc at about 9pm cause i saw an ad and decided i wanted some...
and the cops had blocked off part of blunder road...
so we had to detour through the guts of inala to get to the kfc....
which was fine and dandy.

then we were coming back and i thought i'd go back along blunder road to suss out what happened...but no.. the cops had blocked off BOTH sides of the road..
so we had to do a Uturn and go back through the guts of inala.....
turns out there was a house on fire.

we drove past this morning and there were still cops and fireys in attendance.
the house was burnt to a crisp. apparently.
i couldn't see. i was driving.

and when i got to the office this morning, i was greeted by a workmate with "security is on the way, DS has had a fall".

"oh shit", i think to myself. not good.
she's almost 60.
turns out a huge huntsman spider had run across her desk and given her a fright.
she tripped over her chair and landed on her hip, and someone else thinks she hit her head as well.

she had a headache, couldn't see properly, and was in too much pain to move very far.
they managed to sit her on a chair untill security arrived. he tried to get her into a wheelchair, but she couldn't move for the amount of pain, and once she was moved, she had intense nausea. and her colour was way off. she had gotten worse. so an ambulance was called.

about an hour later, a cute guy in an ambo uniform walked in, followed by a REALLY cute guy in an ambo uniform.
the general office staff gathered around to watch and distract DS from being in too much pain while they stuck her with needles.

they gave her the magic green stick to help with the pain, and it was doing ok until they needed to move her. then, just as a precautionary measure... they gave her morphine so they could get her up.

by the time she was ready to be wheeled out on the stretcher, she was so far spaced out that it was actually kinda funny. she started waving like the queen and we all started cracking jokes to make her laugh.
one of the girls went in the ambulance with her to the hospital. this chick is a mad hatter, so we know she'll make DS laugh and distract her from being sore.

all in all.. an interesting morning. let's hope the rest of the day is just as fun.

ps.. they killed the spider....

pps.. the ambos were rory (the cute one) and wade (the really cute one)
