When it rains, it pours

And jobs are no exception. I probably failed to post that I got a job. I had been chasing this job since February and finally got it last Monday. Well, a friend of mine called me just a few days later (that Wednesday, I think) and said his company was looking to fill a position for a PHP developer. The company in the city so the compensation would be greater.

I went to interview for the position on Tuesday and so far all signs are good. It seems I nailed all the technical questions he asked me and we struck up a conversation as the interview ended, which can't hurt. My friend and the gentleman that interviewed me seem to have a meeting to discuss it further today. I'm crossing my fingers to hope I get a job that pays a substantial amount more than I make now!

Wish me luck :-)

Lefty for a while

I came up to my friend's lake house for the weekend. It's always fun. We went shooting yesterday and then went out on the jet skis. We set off some fireworks to top off the night.

Lo and behold, we're playing with poppers and my friend and I begin to roughhouse. I went full sprint at him to pop some poppers on his back. When I slapped his back full force, he stopped. I'm traveling forward, as is my arm but now he's stationary. I felt it drop as soon as I hit. When I tried to lift it past my elbow, I couldn't. It, then started to hurt like hell. Everybody stood around as I dropped slowly to the floor clutching my shoulder. It was time to go to the hospital.

The ride there hurt here and there but was bearable. The more time passed, the more any position hurt to hold my arm in. We waited about an hour and a half to two hours. At this point my arm was in excrutiating pain. I got an x-ray done and then they gave me a shot, a conscious sedative. The doctor then came in and popped my shoulder back into place. It hurt a lot but only for a second. The pain was over. They immobilized my arm with a thing that resembles a sling. We got back home at 4am or so. I woke up just now and my right hand is swollen, maybe my whole arm.

All-in all it was an interesting weekend. Oh, and my friend's sister is jerking off her boyfriend in the bed across the room. Fun
