Oh, I forgot to write this last night...

I tripped over a stool at work last night and landed flat on my stomach. My hands caught be before my head hit the floor. I am okay.

I am the 3rd person to trip over a stool in the past 5 weeks. The first one had to go to the doctor because she was feeling pain. The second one was the pharm manager, he was okay. And now ME.

We are supposed to put the stools in the corner out of the way when we are done with them, but some people leave them out in the middle of the bays. It's tight around the bays, so the stool gets in the way and is hard to see. Thus, people trip.

Of course we had to report it to the store manager, who then said he wants all stools out of the pharmacy. I see his point, but that is still a bad idea. My pharm manager argued that even though they are beign tripped over, they are needed because over half his staff cannot reach the top shelves because they are too short, so taking them out would hurt production. He told the store manager he would stress the importance to the team of putting the stools back when they are finished with them.

My hands were red for a little while yesterday where I caught myself. They are fine today.
