I am banged up, and my work PC may be sick.
I am banged up because, in trying to cross a platform to change trains this morning, I tripped and fell over someone's wheeled bag. Skinned my left elbow not quite enough to draw blood, and my left knee slightly. Also, serious stiffness in the left shoulder, upper arm, and hip. And now some in the right upper arm. (Yes, I am taking ibuprofen.) I was going to work out this evening. Feh.
I also switched the mouse at work back to right-handed, and discovered that I have lots of habits of where things are on my desk, and what I do with which hand, that were being confused. That's not why I'm leaving the one here alone; it's that I don't feel like rearranging the piles of stuff on my desk here to make room for right-handed mousing without knocking books or papers on the floor.
By late afternoon and on the trip home, I discovered more bits of myself seem stiff. If this had to happen, I'm glad it was now rather than Friday (because one of the things I did this weekend was help![[info]](https://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
adrian_turtle move boxes and put a duvet away for the season and similar things that weren't a big deal, but might be annoying and/or difficult right now).
Whencattitude gets home from work, I'm going to ask him to check me a little more thoroughly for scrapes, and maybe take a hot bath. I may also dig out a leftover vicodin from last spring's surgery before bedtime; at that point, the sedative effect wouldn't be a disadvantage, but added help.
There is some kind of virus on my machine at work, and a number of other people's (a quick look at symantec suggests Trojan.Bankpatch.D). I have talked to the IT guy, and he has installed an anti-malware program, which scanned my machine and found nothing. I would have more faith in that if I hadn't reported signs of the virus to the IT person, who agreed that yes, it looked like a virus. (IE should not start itself up and offer to download screen savers.) However, mine didn't misbehave other than show two suspicious offers of downloads; other people have had their machines freeze. Nonetheless, I am treating my thumb drive as known safe offsite backup; it has a version of my work from end-of-day Thursday, and is in my daypack.
