A 3'x4' whiteboard fell on my neck about half an hour ago.

I have ice on it, I can walk without running into things, and my vision isn't blurry, but man, have I got a headache. Neck not so happy either. I am not taking the bus home tonight.

Good to hear the eval came back negative. Glad the white board didn't have a sharp edge. You'd be an urban legend--in a bad way. :-/

Wait, it's an urban legend! You can just start one of those no matter what the truth is.

I thought it had to be an embellishment to truly be an urban legend, which I think means this is a damn good start.

"Promising hot chick polymath's life cut short by angry whiteboard". You can say that this happened to the wife of a friend of your ex-girlfriend, but that you heard it from the widower himself. Or maybe even that you spoke to the poor girl herself only hours before she went to sleep, never to wake up.

(God, I hope the CT scan was right; I'm going to have to find a bridge to jump off of if something like that does happen, for making jokes this morbid about my wife's life.)

While she was moments from developing the cure for cancer. Or something.

They said to be worried if I was unusually drowsy or anything like that today, but I woke right up when my phone rang, so I think everything will be all right on the neurological side. (Fewer typos this morning, too.) My neck's stiff and sore, but that's what the meds are for.

Are people still submitting prank stories to SH on April Fool's Day? Death by whiteboard could be an amusing plot device.

They might be subbing. Can't recall from this past year.
