[Eric Blank]

Oh god i hope you recover quickly. That is the worst

[scriver]

Holy shut gunner-chan. You tough sonuvabitch.

[JoshuaFH]

I'm hesitant to ask how you broke your neck, if you haven't already told us.

[Gunner-Chan]

Eh I don't wanna go too much into detail in why it's broken honestly. Nobody needs that. Anyway... It's definitely looking like I'm gonna be stuck in this hospital for at least to the end of January, maybe some or all of February too.

[Frumple]

... yeah, long-ish term stuff like that kinda' blows. Went through about half a year of that when I was younger, if outside the hospital and somewhat more mobile. Laptop et al* really does help these days, though, at least once you acclimate to largely not being able to do anything else but fiddle with one. Hopefully the bed is at least comfy. Comfy as possible, considering, anyway.

* Or just setting up a desktop in usable reach, though that's probably less viable in a hospital.

E: Also you totally can acclimate to staving off boredom entirely or nearly entirely with something like that, or some other idle pursuit! If it's a worry or summat. You figure something out, or you get something resembling cabin fever and go bugnuts for a while.

[Gunner-Chan]

I'm kinda getting cabin feverish anyway, just being here makes trying to do anything... Difficult. Because I keep ending up in the mental trap of being in a hospital so I'm not supposed to do anything.

So I've spent a few days not doing much else other than poking honeyselect off and on to tweak characters I already have. And well watching a VRchat stream for some reason for a bit. ... I'm still surprised twitch isn't blocked.

Seems like the best place for this since we don't have an angry thread anymore and I really just need to vent.

My current job at Amazon has in just 3 and a half months given me minor health problems that may take over a year to deal with, mostly joint issues resulting from connective tissue damage. I've picked up pretty bad Plantar Fasciitis (damaged ligaments in my feet) to the extent that they hurt constantly, my shoulders and arms have weakened to the point that I struggle to lift 10 kilos where my voluntary job beforehand had me cheerfully lifting 25 kilos, both my shoulders have some kind of muscle damage that causes sporadic burning pain and my hands are stiff and sore enough that using my paintbrushes has become tiring and difficult on my days off. The Fasciitis is probably going to take the longest to deal with, but over the Christmas/New Year period I got two blocks of 5 days off with only 2 work days between them and was still horribly sore and tired at the end of both 5 day periods, so in general I think it's going to be hard to shake off all this crap.

On top of that the job has not been mixing well with my depression to the point that my meds are not doing as well for me as they normally would.

Note to myself: Never put shawarma into the heater again! The shawarma was literally crumbling away as I ate it, and the taste itself was pretty bland without garlic sauce...

[JoshuaFH]

I learned what a shawarma is today.

[scriver]

Isn't it just an ordinary kebab? Or was it gyros?

[CABL]

Isn't it just an ordinary kebab? Or was it gyros?

Honestly, I don't know the difference between kebab, gyros, or shawarma, besides that that kebab is Turkish, gyros is Greek, and shawarma is Middle-Eastern/Arabic.

[scriver]

Gyros gotta be pork, just to piss the Turks off

[Yoink]

Nuh they all falafel yo.

[Gentlefish]

I'm pretty sure that, while gyros may be able to be made with falafel, traditional gyros are definitely meat of some kind.

[Egan_BW]

Lamb is the best.
