It's scary dark out there right now.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Minor drama in the Suziq house. K-Bug came home from work with an ouchy wrist. She had been moving a table and the manniquin fell off and she tried to catch it. She wouldn't even let me touch it. It was the same hand with the broken scaphoid from 9 years ago (surgery, bone graft, and pin). I asked if she had reported the injury to management. This happened at 5am, so the actual managers weren't there, but the highest level person didn't do anything when she told him. I made her call and report the injury and ask where she could get it checked out.
A couple of hours later, nothing is broken, but she is in a splint for a week. Now she just needs a better story to explain the splint - attacked by manniquin is kinda weak.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, that's discomfiting. There's a need-to-know project going on in the office, and I've just been forwarded the NDA along with a list of my fellow Fight Clubbers, and my manager? Not on it. So I guess I can't report on its progress to her? I have to go over her head straight to my boss?

Suzi - that's totally awesome! see, the manniquin came to life and ATTACKED her. She fought it off, protecting her co-workers and shopeprs, and it went back to its inanimate state.

Now tagless for your comfort.
People who've seen Doctor Who would totally understand.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And, one assumes, she was rescued by The Doctor. "Nice to meet you, K-Bug. Now RUN!"
eta: Hi, Cash!

Because books.
Poor K-Bug! I can't believe they didn't make her fill out an incident/injury report in the first place. H&M was adamant about that stuff.
I have to go over her head straight to my boss?
That's really weird.

I wish K-Bug liked Doctor Who. CJ is a fan...will have to give him this visual after karate.
She has never dealt with workers comp before and didn't know what to do. I had her log me into her company website and was really shocked that it took a lot of digging to find their workplace injury process and then link to medical providers was broken.
For added history, when she broke her hand before, it was a good 8 weeks before we got it x-rayed (my fault, I kept telling her to ice it). Then it was cast, surgery, cast for the whole summer. So hand injuries really make her nervous.
