froggy_dearMy job is not dangerous. It is possibly the least dangerous job possible. I work with papers at a computer in a certified fallout shelter. Pretty safe.
Which makes it more interesting that I found myself bleeding profusely this afternoon.
Okay, okay, so I was bleeding profusely from a paper cut. Shup.
Here's what happened (since you are all simply DYING to know) - There are these boxes. They fit very nice and tightly inside of other boxes. I was trying to get one of the former boxes (which, conveniently, was filled with rocks) out of one of the latter boxes. I'm having a heck of a time of it. I get it out and notice this red smear on the nice blue acid free cardboard. What the? I just got these boxes yesterday! Did they ship with crap on them?
I touch it. It's liquid. Huh, that looks like blood. Am I bleeding? Why yes, yes I am. Wow, the tip of my finger sure is bleeding a lot. Maybe I should go get a band aid. So I do. All the while recounting the tale (yes, it is so epic and entertaining) to Benny.
Yeah. I put twill tape handles on those boxes. No more of this. And there were like three notable smears of blood on the box. Blood is not archival quality. So I put acid free foil backed tape over them. All good.
I basically managed to partly shear off a part of my finger and not notice. That's what I think is so cool. And I'm actually becomming competent at typing with the middle finger of my right hand covered in a band aid.
... I'm a dweeb, I know it.
