Today I was stung by a bee while playing Frisbee with some friends. Every once in a while a group of CS nerds (myself included) get together and play a nice fun game of Ultimate. Today we were playing a 4 on 3 game in the grassy area behind Chrysler Hall, one of the buildings on the UWindsor campus. Everything was going great until I noticed a sharp ache in my left foot. I assumed it was just a rock in my sandal again (dumb me was playing in sandals), but when the pain didn’t go away I looked down and I saw the jerk. There was a bee sitting right on the edge of my sandal! He must have flown down from above, landed on my sandal, and stung me!
Needless to say I’ll be staying off my foot for the next few days as the swelling has already begun to set in. If I’m not able to put a lot of pressure on it by Monday I’ll just work from my couch instead of going in to the lab. Chelsey, my awesome girlfriend who is a nursing student, told me that I should be good by next Friday, so hopefully my Ultimate career isn’t totally ruined 
I do give props to the bee though – pulling off that kind of landing is really tricky. Maybe he should enlist in the Air Force 
put his stinger to good use.
