Title: Accident Prone...
Post by: HaRuMaN on August 13, 2004, 09:18:50 pm
You ever have a couple of weeks where you're just a danger to yourself?  Two weeks ago I was putting up a shed with the help of my fiancee, when she dropped one of the steel panels.  It hit me right below the elbow...  I thought it was just a scratch until I felt blood dripping from my fingers.  Needless to say, the steel has sliced me pretty good so we went to the ER where I got 5 stitches.  I'm 26 years old, and this is the first time I've ever had them, lol.

We get home after the 3 hours at the ER (and $670 later).  About an hour later, DHL delivers my new laptop (Which just rocks!!).  In my excitement to get into the package I cut right into my thumb with the knife as I cut the tape on the box.  Fun.

Well, today, I thought my streak of bad luck had run out by now, but no, I was wrong.  I was working on some plumbing, clearing some old packing out of a valve stem with a screw driver when I slipped and drove the screwdriver into the palm of my left hand.  Lovely, eh?

I'm starting to think that I need to stay away from sharp objects...   ;D

Ya know, when Bill Engvall said "Here's your sign", I think he had you in mind  ;)  Seriously, take it easy.

well.... I do believe there are bad luck days when things will just not go your way....

on those days.... just take it slow.... and steady... and calm...

I think you should do that.... are you ok ??... driving a screwdriver into your palm... that really hurts.....  Ouch....
