My boss is out today and I’m covering the office. His bosses’ boss just walked in as a surprise visit, never met the guy before. I introduced myself to him and the lady he was with. I shook their hands and then got a squirt of Purell because hands are gross. Well the Purell hadn’t been used in a long time and was gummed shut. So when I hit the plunger, it forcefully ejected all over everything. It was graphic. All over the desk, paperwork, monitors, keyboard, me, the back of the lady as she was walking away, I don’t know what else it hit. Jesus.

She’s going to wonder why she smells like Purell all day.

I mean....you didn’t wait for them to leave the vicinity before you just gave yourself a squirt?   awesome, for real

Joking aside, take it easy and fly safe. You probably want to see a doc and get your cat scanned as soon as you get home.

Ouch. Yeah, I second seeing a doc when you get home. Getting knocked unconscious is something you want to follow up on, with a specialist.

Glad you only got knocked unconscious.

At least find a better cover story for your friends.  You didn’t fall down the stairs in the Forbidden City.  You entered a Shao Lin tournament in the Forbidden City.

And after all the rickety scaffolding you've been up and down safely!

But what everybody else is saying. Don't just get home after the long flight and sleep it off. Can't take chances with your head -- go get a total workup as soon as you can.

After a half hour with a clueless tech support flunkie at Spectrum, I was dumped onto another CSR  why so serious? Never had that particular nadir of customer support before, she clearly knew she was in over her head and just transfered the call without telling me...or the other CSR I ended up with. One second she was saying 'Ok, let me look at something on your account...' (for the eighteenth time) and the next minute 'Hello, thank you for calling Spectrum...'

I asked the 2nd CSR if she knew I got 'handed off' to her, nope. No info transfer, nada. I was so pissed but I don't take it out on the new girl, which was great because she was a smart one. The first one I had to patiently explain how their entire system worked :D The 2nd one actually understood all the info I had for her (I was in the service menu for the cablecard, really decent diags actually), so we had everything up and running in 10 minutes.

The problem I was having? CSR 1 entered all the numbers incorrectly.

A lot of what we do at the library is customer service, so this is a nice little example as it shows both great and horrible service in a single call.

Unsure.  Flight from Beijing to Seattle was 10 hours of hell; never fly with a head injury if you don’t have to.

Doc wanted to see me before ordering a CT scan, and couldn’t get in until 6pm yesterday.  Doubt the radiologist has even looked at it yet.

Been feeling ok until this morning.  At the moment it feels exactly like being drunk without any of the enjoyable parts.  If it does ‘t improve shortly or gets any weirder I’m hitting the E.R.  Wife is monitoring me so I’m not on my own.

Yeah, everything he's described maps pretty well to a concussion, the risk is that he's got a clot (an active bleed, he'd be dead or comatose already). A clot could be holding off a potential aneurysm, and if large enough could be a problem in and of itself.
