OT - Grumpy Old Man Thread

I think you might mean cortisone shots.  

Sorry to hear that, riffraft.  Joint pain sucketh.

Well I now have an official diagnosis for my shoulder pain.  I have a frozen shoulder.  OK fine, fix it, then I read in the literature he gave me, It can take up to 3 years to be fully healed.  So it looks like I am in PT, NSAIDS and cortisol shots for the long haul.

Cortisol?

I'm pretty sure you don't want that. I have high cortisol and it's f'ing evil.

had to look it up
doesn't appear to be my issue with pain in both shoulders
still grumpy about it

On the one hand it feels insensitive to post something so meaningless after you guys note real world problems, on the other, take this for what it is: intended levity because we could all use some:

I'm grumpy today because my building opened its bike locker just after I took this job, and I was literally the first person to use it. For nine years I've used the same spot in the room (which holds probably 150-200 bikes at capacity), but just in the last month someone else has started arriving just before me and taking that spot. I don't own it, but damn it, it's mine.

[FearlessF]

you gotta get up earlier or pedal faster!

Yes, I tend to type one word meaning another word and I never proofread.

It like someone sitting in your regular seat at church

I HATE IT when someone takes my spot.

That would piss me off too.

Get there early, confront him, and kick his ass.

Sound good?

[FearlessF]

going to jail for assault would make me grumpy

I thought pedaling faster was probably the better advice, but sure, maybe a whupping is just what he needs.

No explanation necessary.  The Grumpy thread is here for us all.  

I totally get it, btw.  It's like.....use one of the other spots.  Any other spot.  You know this one is mine.

You're a lawyer in SF. 

You're not going to jail.

Lol, a few people did in fact recently start taking my regular seat in church.  The only reason I care is because for portions of the service the congregation stands, and at other times they sit.  I can't really stand through the standing parts due to physical limitations, and it makes me self-conscious, so I prefer to sit on the very back row where most people can't see me.  I've had to move up a little bit to get another seat.

I guess now that I think about it, it does make me a little grumpy.
