I had to answer phones at work when I got hurt

When I finally returned to AC repairs after skipping 5 days of work, I felt like I could tackle any job that day

I was on my way back to the office after an AC repair, and I was in a traffic accident. I was sitting at a red light and a large semi truck was turning left. The guy misjudged the amount of room he had to turn and he clipped the entire front of my AC repair truck. He dragged me for twenty five yards before he realized there was a problem. The impact from the creash made my head swing back and my neck was damaged. I had an awful headache for days after the crash. I went to the emergency room and they told me to take it easy for a few days. My boss made me sit at the office and answer phones all day. It wasn’t strenuous and physical labor like working on AC or heat pump repairs, but it was still demanding. It was one of the most boring jobs I have ever had in my entire life. I waited for the phone to ring and I tried to keep the customers on the phone as long as possible. When I finally returned to AC repairs after skipping 5 days of work, I felt like I could tackle any job that day. The boss started me off with a couple of easy evaluations and tune-up calls, but it was great to be back. It’s been three weeks since the accident and I still experience mild headaches from time to time but the doctor told me that is normal with this type of injury. I can expect headaches for months.
