I am so annoyed. Work-related injury. Ugh.

Mrs.JDD

Last week one of my 1st grade students ran up, gave me a hug, and proceeded to try and lift me off the ground. In the process, he really hurt my back. I have been in constant pain for the last week. It is not getting better, no matter what I do and Advil barely helps. I've been trying to avoid the whole worker's compensation thing, but I am putting in a claim and going to the chiropractor. Who knew being small would be a job hazard? haha...

How tiny are you that a 1st grader tried to lift you?

This exactly - either that or it's one of those gignormous kids.

Mrs.JDD

He's a big kid, but I am also small...5'2" and I weigh about 100lbs. Please no flames for my small stature

xbrooklyngrl

LOL no flaming, I figured you had to be tiny.

Anyway, maybe you just pulled a muscle? I would put in the claim though because if it got worse, you wouldn't want to be assed out of your benefits!

Mrs.JDD

Yeah, I filed the claim online and did the report with my principal right when it happened last week. I just hate being that jerk employee that actually has to take advantage of the worker's comp benefits! I'm so ready for my back to stop hurting though...it's been terrible.

Well you are better off. My firends DH didn't file when somethng happened at work and then when it got worse, it was too late and they wouldn't accept his claim and he had to be out of work with no pay!
