oh the shame
Have just returned from the physio and I officially have a royally fucked knee. He prodded and poked it and then announced "well, in all my years I have never seen anything like this before, hmmmmm" Its fucked to the extent that they have reduced my inner thigh muscles to redundancy and my outer thigh muscles are so tight they are pulling my knees out of shape even more.

hurrah.

I have to do stretching exercises.

Every hour.

This involves me lying in the middle of the office floor trying to kick myself in the back of the head. next hour some other depts are coming round to laugh at me while I limber up.

The shame, the shame.

Had any humiliating experiences at work lately?

The humiliation starts
when i arrive and stops at 17.15. At least you have a funny story to tell.

I just farted quite loudly,
and the guy next to me looked at me like I'd shot Jesus and strangled a kitten at the same time. I couldn't decide if I should apologise or grin with pride, so I ended up emitting a polite cough and carrying on with my work.

The chap who sits next to me
Lovely guy, he used to design guidance systems for space rockets in the 1960s (British space rockets too). He's a year away from retirement, mind as sharp as a razor but he's as deaf as a post.

As a result, when he thinks he's having a sneaky quiet fart he doesn't realise the whole office can hear it rattling off the chair.

We're all too polite to laugh.

Mr BobFossil has the same knee problem.
Not as bad as yours, but he had to do weird "sliding up and down the wall" excercises to strengthen the muscle on the inside of the knee, as the muscles on the outside were so strong they were pulling his kneecaps out of alignment.

I've got a dodgy knee
A few years ago, I went to see a physio about it.

She was lovely. I might have asked her out had it not been that, when she asked me to do a couple of exercises that involved standing on one leg, I toppled over and she pointed and laughed.

Come to think of it, I perhaps should have taken it as a sign that we'd have got on royally.

Could be worse
My scablifter (15 years ago) announced happily that I would 'be crippled by the time I was 40'.

Didn't sound so bad then.

I'm 36.

The bespectacled NHS canute was right.
