[EN]

I'm very, very absent-minded and clumsy. I'm always covered in bruises, and a lot of times I don't even know where they came from. I have a really good story about a time when I hurt myself quite badly due to distraction, but despite the injuries, I always laugh a lot when I remember what led up to it.

It was 2013, and I had just started a new job as a reporter for a local TV station in the city where I lived. Our studio was located in a two-story building: on the main floor we had the control rooms, newsroom, management offices, bathrooms, and the studio. In the basement, we had another bathroom, a rest area, and a kitchen.

I remember that I was very thirsty that day and decided to go down to the kitchen to fill my water bottle. Being the absent-minded person that I am, I went down the stairs and in a moment worthy of a cartoon, I took a misstep and... ploft! There I was, with one leg in the tank and the other hanging out, as if trying to imitate a clumsy flamingo. I have to admit that diving wasn't on my agenda for the day! LOL

The cap was open for maintenance and we had been warned to be careful, but I just forgot and the result was a trip to the hospital and a nice bruise on my leg that became my fashion accessory for a few weeks.

That was the day I fell into the water tank.

That was about two months later. I still had a bruise.

This was undoubtedly my funniest 'accident'. Every time I remember it, I imagine the hilarious scene of me hanging outside with only one leg, unable to get out on my own and having to call for help. My colleagues rushed to get me out of the water tank, but afterwards they all laughed at how clumsy I could be.
