Damn, that's too bad. I empathize -- I got smacked down for a promotion early this year, and am waiting for it to happen again right now. Hope you at least got good painkillers for your arm.
I'm actually not too upset about either event. The arm thing, well, that will heal (I'm already out of the splint, just a sling now), although the ribs I bruised (or maybe cracked) are barking at me today. And the promotion? Meh. I'll just keep pluggin'.
