Damn, today really fuckin' sucked... Today started off pretty normal, woke up at 5:30 and went into work at 6:30. And it was kinda nice, because I got to catch up on some stuff in the warehouse this morning because our truck was delayed 2 hours...
But then my boss comes in and starts barkin' orders, meanwhile he goes off and starts yellin' at his wifer over his cellphone (which is an unfortunate daily occurance). So I get our piece-O-shit crank lift so I can start double stacking freezers that out weigh me by 150lbs and are taller than I am. And despite the fact that we've had problems with this fucked up thing forever, my boss insists that it works fine. To my surprise it worked great, I stacked the freezer and everything was fine. Until I went to grab the handle so I could begin lowering the platform. Just as I touched the handle ever so slightly, the locking mechanism snapped and the handle spun. Because this moment had happened to quickly my hand was still sitting there when the handle came full circle. The next thing I know my middle finger (of all fucking fingers) is gushing blood and you can see the muscle tissue in the finger. So I'm running to the bathroom trying to clean it and find something to cover it with. I grabbed a roll of paper towels and went into the security office. I spent the next hour filling out an accident report and dealing with the corporate goons, trying to figure out if I need to go to the hospital... Meanwhile I'm bleeding through the paper towels!!! So I spent the next 4 hours in the emergency room waiting to be checked out. They told me to put bandaids on it and take tylenol. The dr. said that the skin should begin to grow over the muscle tissue in a couple of weeks... And I still have to work and I have to keep it covered to make sure it doesn't get loaded up with dust from work... Oh and it's been roughly 12 hours since it happened and it's still bleeding!!!!!
How have all of you been holdin' up today??
