I can't work for the next six weeks
I used to be able to hit a jump shot from the other side of the half-court line.
When I was in college, I had an incredible aim.
I didn’t play basketball after I had my knee injury. I was depressed and sad for a long time. I finally picked up the basketball again and I injured myself. Some of my colleagues at the heating and AC repair center wanted to play ball after work. I agree to join the guys at the park. I stopped at my place to grab some gym shorts and a t-shirt. I drove over to the park, where the guys were already warming up and shooting baskets. I thought I would attempt a special shot and I decided to go for a slam dunk. I hit the rim with the basketball and it bounced back into my face. I fell to the ground on top of the basketball. My leg twisted out from under me and I felt one of the bones crack. I couldn’t get up after I fell. I looked like a complete and total jerk in front of my co-workers from the heating and AC repair center. I wanted to look like a hero, but I ended up looking like a fraud. Now I am stuck at home and I can’t work for the next 6 weeks. I have no idea how I am going to pay all of my bills if I can’t work on heating and air conditioner repairs. I only have 5 days of vacation time saved up. Once those days are up, I won’t be getting paid for sitting at home.
