So I cant have it because I might die only to return from the dead and sue your face off?

    Today the topic is ridiculousness. Yesterday after work I made my way down to the valley for a nice jog along the river, something I've almost made routine, though this particular run I dubbed 'hell run'. Hell run earned its name because I had done my first set of squats at the gym the day before since the beginning of summer and I foolishly accepted several handfuls of jellybeans and jujubes a short time earlier. Needless to say I got side stitches immediately and with every step pain danced its way up my poor torn lower body muscles. I then woke this morning feeling like I'd been dragged behind a garbage truck all night. Mild nausea and a headache that felt like hundreds of tiny mean people were in my head hacking at the back of my eyes with their evil little hatchets. I contemplated calling in sick to work but I've already used two sick days this quarter, I figured I'll just man it out. By eight I was in need of pharmaceutical help, I began my search for the lady in the office who always has the 'good stuff'. After a brief game of hide and seek she informed me that she was dry, I'd have to get my fix else where. She recommended I try a lady down the hall or the two fat guys at the front, they have a large supply.

'hey, I hear you guys got the hook up'

'I don't know what you're talking about'

'please I need some, I'm dieing here'

'we got nothing'

the woman interjects 'cummon guys please, he just needs two'

'nope'

I was able to track down other people around the shop who were nice enough to give me a few Advil and Tums and within an hour or so I was good to go. The lady approached me later and explained that if in the future I wanted painkillers or any drug I'd have to bring my own because if something happened the person who provided the medication would be held liable. She then proceeded to tell me a story of when she was forced to administer first aid to a co-worker but when management had found out she had done so without having authorization she was threatened with disciplinary action.

Now I cant decide what is more pathetic: that our legal system would fail hard enough to set a precedence for this, that my cowardly co-workers are afraid that I would hold them accountable should something happen or that some sad little soul would and has actually legally assaulted someone offering them assistance in a situation like this.

k, bye
