Hazardous duty

I have quickly become the office klutz. It started with a bang when I managed to knock over my chair...while I was in it. In fact, I fell forehead-first into the desk on my way down. I was sure I'd have a black eye by the next morning and was oddly disappointed when I didn't.

Today I spilled coffee all over my pants because I forgot that one shouldn't talk with one's hands while one is holding a hot beverage. I'd like to think I've learned important safety lessons from these events, but I suspect not.

Thank goodness for traveler's health insurance.

Is clumsiness classified as a preexisting condition?

At this point I think clumsiness counts as a pre-existing condition and though it is covered by insurance, it'll cause significant increases to your deductible.

In America, if I understand correctly, the insurance industry is trying to have breathing classified as a preexisting condition contributing to other illnesses.

As for clumsiness, hard to say. It's possible you've been a victim of circumstances. {So many people love being victims, eh} Or, more likely, one who has more on her mind than the little details like a hot beverage in hand.

Wanted to drop a quick line to let you know A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Blogosphere has been published. Your link is live.

Cheers!
