Unbelievable co-workers compassion and solidarity.

Lando Griffin

If you’re self-employed or sole trader then this thread probably doesn’t relate to you.
I’v just been victim of unbelievable co-workers compassion and solidarity.
Last Friday at work during lunch we were having a kick around out in the yard when, bearing down on goals I tripped over a loose bit of concrete and fell heavily.
I look at my knee and through a hole in my trousers could see a bloody gash in my knee.
It stung straight away and I knew my knee was badly injured.
Everyone gathered round and 2 of the lads lifted me and helped me up to the canteen.
There they got one of the office girls to tend me.
She gently took my knee and cleaned it with antiseptic, which stung but I didn’t flinch.
She said I was very brave as she stripped of the protection that was on the plaster and applied it to my knee.
She then filled out the accident report as required by H&S and sent me on my way.
Later the boss called a meeting where instead of banning football in the yard, it was voted 12 to 2 that if he wasn’t there to supervise us and make sure we didn’t run too fast then we would be able to play football.
All weekend I was getting texts asking for my knee and wondering if I was able to go drinking but unfortunately had to do family stuff.
Have you ever witnessed this kind of compassion and solidarity at work and would it be unique to Ireland?

Probably wants to make sure you don't sue the company

About 20 years ago I got a hand job in the jacks off the HR woman after I hurt my arm.

Your work place sounds very special...

Do you work in a primary school?

Corvo

No. Most of the time I fantasise about throwing them down the stairs or pouring their coffee over their heads.

This reads like the story of a 12 year old at school and you just replaced "teacher" with "boss".

I don't think 'victim' is the correct word here.

Years ago when working in a large manufacturing plant, I sprayed farting gas into the ventilation system.

About fifty lads chased after me and threw me into a steel drum they'd already sprayed with the farting gas they found, then they sat on the lid til I nearly passed out with the smell.

Solidarity right there! :pac:


On a similar note- black cat bangers and people of a nervous disposition do not mix! I think the guy might have managed to kick an eighth color out of me and all! :pac:

You sure you are old enough to work, this reads like something that happened in the school yard. Did the HR lady give you a lollypop as well for being so brave?

Well, there was this one time, we were having our Christmas Party, and these terrorists took over the building, and only for this one guy who fought them off single handedly we would have ... ah no, sorry - I was thinking of Die Hard.

You'd have to carry yourself in, clean the cut yourself, even kiss it better yourself and then give yourself a big loner hug. I imagine it would look something like a scene from Me, Myself and Irene.

Surely you kept it for yourself and its now proudly sitting on the mantelpiece as a memento of the greatest story ever told? Pretty rude of them to want it for themselves.

If by ointment you mean hands and by arm you mean throbbing shaft of manliness, then yes, you're right.

Many years ago when I was working as an electrician one of the cunts I worked with broke his leg on the lunch playing football.Henrik Larson type of break , bone out through skin , him screaming , passing out etc .
Anyway we gave him a spliff (electricians are allowed smoke on site , calms the nerves) and carried on playing football round him.
Eventually we went back to work leaving him there , I often wonder what happened to him , particularly on days like today .

Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played each summer's day
Warriors both of course
One little chap then had a mishap
Broke off his horse's head
Wept for his toy then cried with joy
As his young playmate said


Did you think I would leave you crying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Jack and don't be crying
I can go just as fast with two
When we grow up we'll both be soldiers
And our horses will not be toys
And I wonder if we'll remember
When we were two little boys

You have a great case for a claim, (if that is what you wear looking for), 1st mistake is they moved you when they should of called an ambulance, (imagine the fun of getting a spin at top speed to the nearest hospital),

then someone who was not trained to make a diagnosis of how damaged you were (considering you were moved and more damage was caused) treated you for a sore knee when there was a good chance you were suffering from, snap crackle and pop,

on the plus side there is a good chance you will get to stay up as late as you like, (but you will need to keep moaning and shouting ouch every now and then).

I was in work today and one of the other girls knocked over my carton of milk during big break and it fell on the floor and all the milk spilled out of the carton. I was very upset because I was thirsty and I really like milk, but then all the other girls came over and gave me a little bit of their milk and I ended up having more milk than I had before!!!

That first girl is still a cunt though.
