Monday Motivation

By Katie - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, while on trial for a desperately needed new job, I tripped crossing a road with my would-be manager. I twisted my ankle, and he had to carry me across the road and call a taxi for me to go home. FML

Sounds like a bonding moment! Connection made.

But because it was a girl, it holds an almost romantic value which works in favor of OP

I don't see how tripping would cause you to lose the job... Unless the job requires you to have perfect balance and never trip or fall. Which seems odd. Also, if you only twisted your ankle, you wouldn't need to be carried. If it was so bad you couldn't even walk, it's more likely a sprain or fracture.

That's why you shouldn't get so carried away...see what I did there?

You twisted your ankle from walking unproperly..

improperly Somehow, I think the OP would know that, so you both have one embarrassing mistake today.

Most jobs are sedentary and don't require walking competence. Your accident shouldn't disqualify you from the job unless you were applying to be a streetwalker.

although the manager may think shes a clutz and not hire her as she will be a workers comp issue

I hope the accident didn't affect the chances of you getting the job. It truly does suck when accidents can happen at the worst possible time.

You twisted your ankle and he had to carry you? Low pain tolerance?

If you get the job, you know you'll be working for a great humanitarian.

Are you officially hired on yet?

It's okay OP, it was an accident and could have happened to anyone.
