largely unsuccessful heroism...

Sep 16, 2008 08:57

I tried to save a coworker from a tumbling pile of boxes today, and thought I had largely succeeded (she still got bumped but I stopped them before they actually became a pile of boxes on top of her) then an hour later or so she mentioned that she was having pain in her head and occasionally feeling nauseous and "out of focus". So, apparently I was not fast enough to prevent her from being possibly concussed. :-( Ah well, maybe next time instead of the "push the pile back up into a non-tumbling position" move I should try for "tackle coworker out of the way and be crushed by the whole pile myself" routine. At least they were big boxes of paper towels instead of the smaller but MUCH heavier boxes of laundry detergent a few rows down.

In unrelated work related news, I would like to note that only people actually qualified to manage me should be MICRO-managing me. Random coworkers who have no more time on the job than I do and aren't even as good at it MAY NOT nitpick the way I do my job and try to tell me the right way to do it...
