    I was in my co-workers office about to tell him something and my boss walked by and he looks down at my foot (I'm only wearing one shoe).

    Me:Yea, I only have one shoe on because my foot hurts.
    Boss: why?
    Me: I got hit by a car this morning
    Co-worker: A moving car?!?
    Me: no a stopped one. rolleyes

    I mean, really, you’re going to ask me if I got hit by a MOVING car? How else does one get hit by a car? :-D

    Well, to answer your first question...generally it doesn't seem that way does it. LOL

    I do have to ask though, dy:

    First...are you okay?

    Second...how Did you get hit by a car and just on your one foot?

    I am ok, bruised knee, scraped hand and I think how I spun when I fell made me pull a muscle in my foot because if I rub a certain spot on my foot, it doesn’t hurt anymore.

    How it happened, I was standing at the corner and from a distance I saw the lady put on her turn signal and I thought she was going to turn on the street next to me, so I started crossing the street. Well, I guess she changed her mind because the next thing I know, I’m doing a little spin and end up on the ground!

    Despite all that, I’m more entertained that he asked me if I got hit by a moving car.. No, I decided to take a running leap into a parked car! :-D

    So we have established that the car was moving... next question that springs to mind is... was the car moving forward? :-D

    Glad you're ok dyamond :)

    I can guarantee it was definitely moving forward :-D

    The foot is better. I wrapped a bandage around it and am trying to keep it elevated by resting it on top of my tower (it's on the floor) but it's hard to keep it there because I am so used to crossing my legs. I am really starting to contemplate getting myself a bubble to live in LOL

    She did stop and no thanks.. I don't need an attorney :-D

    Thankfully, no. http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy290/lotzasmilies/phew.gif

    But can you imagine the chaos if they were? :eek

    Any time I see a vehicle with a turn signal on, I still wait until they actually start to turn before I pull out. Too many times the idiot behind the wheel is oblivious to the fact that they left the turn signal on. ;)

    And dy, you could have at least gotten some compensation so you could rent that limo!!! :-D:-D

    I hope the boss has a sense of humour.;) Some just can't take the sarcasm.rolleyes I'm glad you're relatively OK.:)

    Good idea, I think i'll wait just a bit longer from now on!

    Darn it! I didn't even think about the limo, I could have been rolling in style :cool:-D

    Yea, my boss has a great sense of humor. It's my coworker (the one referenced above) that always says the silliest things like the other day he asked me where we kept the open invoices WHILE he was looking through the drawer clearly marked OPEN INVOICING and then got mad at me when I smirked at him. I mean, come on, how could I not? :-D

    Ouch, that sucks. MVFC (Motor Vehicular Foot Collision)

    To the not thinking before someone talks the one that really bothers me is:

    You have a friend, name is John Doe. This person knows you know their last name. You ask, "Are you related to Jane?" They reply "Jane who?" "Ummm obviously the same last name as your since I know yours and that's how I thought you two might be related." OK maybe not a big deal but some people, well most don't think before talking.

    Glad you are OK Dyamond! :major

    I get asked stupid questions at work too. Boss "Can you get a case of Chimay?" Me "Nope, we are out of Chimay." Boss "What do you mean we are out of Chimay?" :confused Me "Kinda early to be drinking the samples isn't it?" :-D

    OMG I actually just face palmed :-D

    And even if the shoes had been hurt, it's ok, they will go to heaven... cos ... you know.... shoes have soles ;)

    If they ever are, I want you to know that my swords are completely at your service. The shoes must be protected!

    On a more serious note, I'm glad to hear you're okay. :)

    Also, Ned, that pun was so bad it is automatically awesome. Well played. :highfive

    :eek Glad you are ok, dyamond, and sorry you are sore. Between you falling and now getting run down in the street I think we do need to put you in a bubble; or at least some bubble wrap! Quality dyamonds are few and hard to come by!!! I'll make a few calls and see if I can get a CH-47 to deliver a few tons of bubble wrap to your house and roll you up in it ;)

    I never, EVER, trust other drivers - If I am walking or mobile I always assume the worst out of those puttering about around me. People, by and large, are inattentive when it comes to the world they are driving through - and even the best drivers have their "igno-seconds."

    That was my NEXT question . . . :)

    Ned, oh Ned.. how you crack me up LOL

    I totally appreciate this offer!! I'm glad you understand the importance of protecting the shoes. :highfive

    And thanks guys, I'm feeling much better. :)

    Of course! The importance of protecting shoes should be obvious to anyone...http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-violent092.gif

    And I'm glad you're feeling better. Be careful from here on! No matter how precious they are, shoes can be replaced, but there is only one dyamond... and I think I speak for all of us when I say we'd like to keep her around. :)
