The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

department of homeless solutions is prolly at my camping-spot right now if they haven't already left
i moved all my stuff where they won't take it
and i'll go move it back as soon as i finish my internet sessions here
 
So I'm mildly fuckered at the moment. Learning to do everything left handed is very trying.

I went out to pick up an excavator with a CDL driver last Wednesday. (6 wheel truck with goose neck trailer) We loaded it and chained it down. On the way out the truck driver didn't check an old concrete train trestle overpass and the arm of the excavator slammed into it. We hit so hard the impact stopped the truck dead in its tracks. GPS said we were traveling 17 mph. Doesn't sound like a big deal until you've experienced it. I was looking down at my phone. Didn't have any thought to brace myself and bounced off the truck door pretty hard. Spent the rest of the day at the ER getting xrays. I was numb from fingertip to elbow for the next several hours and my fingers turned ice cold. My hand isn't broken but I'm sore as fuck, hand to shoulder and my back.

My right hand hasn't been working with a shit. Twisting motions and lifting just isn't working out. I'm on light duty at work (they're just letting me fuck off twelve hours a day because they dont want me on comp) I tried to mow some of my lawn yesterday but only made it about 1/3 of the way and my father ended up cutting the bank because I couldnt shove the damn thing up the hill.

Got a laugh that my company gave me a post accident drug test for sitting in the passenger seat. I've received about 200 phone calls since then. Wouldnt be surprised if I end up fired in the near future. Accident ended up being an OSHA record-able because the ER doctor prescribed me pain meds.

anyone know what happened to kiwi david? rym’s gone, facebook’s gone, hasn’t posted here in a couple weeks

I've finally accepted that I have to give up the majority of metal for sanity's sake. My hearing is getting so bad that it doesn't make much sense to keep clinging on. I might keep posting in the non-metal polls but just being around it is frustrating.

Ah I remember the bureaucracy in these sorts of incidents unfolding. The infrastructure/construction company I do IT work for no longer has a presence in NZ, but seen some funny/fucked shit. A guy working with his hands near a running chainsaw blade that was videoed for some reason. One supervisor could never work hard enough and seemed to get shat on the most, head eventually rolled after his workers got into an excavation under the corner of a house that wasn't shored up. Later the council's organisation basically swindled the company for a seven figure sum by getting out of paying for some work already completed. :loco:

I'm truly sorry to hear that. Thanks for letting us know what's going on.

Sad to see this post, dude. Hopefully you can still find plenty of good music to enjoy in the future, but I know Metal was always such a big part of your life that it's gonna be super hard to fill that gap. :(
