I gotta stop smashing mah fingers

Shenlong · 8th July 2003, 19:08

Just sunday, I smashed my right-hand thumb when I was popping up my skateboard to pick it up. My thumb got caught on the edge of the board as it was coming up, and bruised part of the end and bled underneath the nail...Now I bruised the tip of my right-hand pointer finger trying to kill a fly in my kitchen. The tip slammed right into the edge of one of my cabinets and bruised the tip near the nail...

I'm right-handed, so this is gonna make some simple tasks slightly painful, such as using the mouse and typing the keyboard. Not to mention my right-hand pointer finger and thumb are used to unbutton/zip my pants, so now I'll be slighly handicapped whenever I go to the white room...

I say by tomorrow, I'll put my middle finger out of comission...

well u got two options.. learn to be left handed.. or avoid using yer right hand for everything.. use it to write, use mouse etc, but for yer board just pic it up the slow way and use a can of fly killer instead of swatting for a while

hope the hand heals

It's only two fingers, both at the tips...

And I can use my thunb a bit better than yesterday, since it's healed a bit since then. My pointer finger was an hour or two ago, so I can't be pressing down on the tip too hard...But as for my pants, I'm learning to use my middle finger instead of my pointer finger, which is helping me a bit...

I need one of those pants male strippers use where they rip off like that...

I know how you feel!

Just about 2 hours ago, I was riding my bike and there was an UGLY beetle on my arm, those big black ones with really long antennas.
Anyway, I was about to knock it off my arm when I looks up and noticed "Oh crap, I'm going in the ditch! So I slammed on the brakes, which was a pretty dumb thing to do on a gravel road, and crashed. I cut my hand up pretty good, so that sux. It's probably not as bad yours though, I can still type pretty well and stuff. When I got up, I noticed it was still there. I didn't care how ugly it was, I just grabbed it off my arm and literally ripped it apart. It pissed me off!

I'm slowly running out of toes in the same manner that you are running out of fingers. yestersday at work, while a co-worker was helping me bring carts into the building, he failed to notice me giving him the stop signal with my hand. this resulted in hime driving onto my right foot, at which point he noticed my stop signal and proceeded to park the cart mover on my foot. if you have never seen a cart mover, it is basically a 600lb piece of fiberglass and steel that is about 5 feet long and 3 feet wide. it rides on two rather narrow drive wheels and one smaller steering wheel arranged in a backwards tricycle formation. most of the weigh is on the drive wheels. I'd estimate I had about 250 pounds being put down by a 3-in wide tire sitting on the big toe of my right foot. this caused the nail to get all screwed up, and while it isn't black yet, moving it at all hurts, plus, I can't kick stuff. later that day, I managed to run my own left foot over with a line of carts, causing the same problem that my right foot has, albeit, not quite as painful. and to make it worse, I have 2 more 8-hour days to go, and I will probably run each foot over at least twice more before I go on vacation

As long as I'm still the grill cook at this mexican restaurant I work at, I have a feeling the two burns I have right now won't be the last. Stupid fajita skillets have to be kept infernally hot.
