Concussed

It's that time of year again. No, the Fourth has past & that's not what I mean. I'm referencing the 2nd (of 3) employee parties at the club where I work. What makes this party different from the others is that it is the "hot tub" party. Meaning, 2 hot tubs are rented & set up on the deck. We also have a small swimming pool to go along. It was this past Monday and the first half of the night was great. I had some drinks, got some decent food, and was enjoying hanging out with all the coworkers.

Everyone was trying to throw various people into the pool, so mid-way through the night, I decided to take one for the team. I emptied my pockets and plotted on who I was taking in the pool. One of the other security guys, fearing that he'd end up in the pool, also emptied his pockets. We decided that we were each going to grab one of the hostesses and run and jump in. They never saw it coming. No one was paying us attention. The girls came over to us & we started telling them we had this great plan to throw someone in the water. Mid sentence, I nodded at the other guy and we both picked up the girls and ran for the water. Everyone turned as they heard the screams followed by the big splash.

Last year, only about 5 employees got into the pool. This year, only about 5 didn't get thrown in. The rest of the night, everybody got thrown in. It was a highly entertaining time.

So far, the title to this post hasn't made sense. But here goes. The last thing I remember from the night was picking up one of the new servers and going into the water. The next day I found out that I had taken a knee to the head (specifically to the left temple) while in the water. I don't remember any of it. Supposedly I was dazed in the pool, got out, leaned on the bar, and somehow made it to the back of the property. While sitting down, I told several people that the DJ (think someone about my build, but only about 5'8") drilled my head with is knee (unintentionally I presume).

Like I said, I don't remember any of this. After going into the water with the server, the next thing I remember is waking up Tuesday. What happened during that time? I don't know. Everyone wants to know how I got home and again, that is a mystery. I might have driven myself, I might have had someone drive me. I really don't know.

Long story short, my head still sort of hurts, I have a good bump on the side of my head, and I believe it's highly likely I had a concussion.

The joys of an employee party!!!
