For about a week or two, i won't be on much due to an unfortunate accident in shop class yesterday. While cutting a board on the table saw, i accidentally put my hand in the cutting path, and almost lost my thumb. I had to go to the Emergency Room and have it fixed up. I have several stitches and am bandaged up and I am in a lot of pain right now. I'll have the stitches out in a week, but the wound won't be fully healed for some time. It makes it very very difficult to type. So, moral of the story, respect the table saw.

Ew...

That's precisely what the other students in my class said when the teacher asked them to clean up the blood....

EDIT: There was blood all over, and a trail leading from the saw to the classroom, where the teacher put a gauze bandage on me and had an aide take me to the ER.

Eww.. Gross. Sorry to hear that happened mate. Yea, respect the saw table.

Can't take the wood shop, stay out of the class room.

Oh wow..poor Stang Hope it heals real soon...that's scary..I'm glad I know myself enough to not trust sharp tools in my posession.

I'm glad you didn't actually lose a finger.

I always stay away from tools period.

Then what the bloody hell are you doing in celest?

Thats not right.. thats a cheap shot

psh, take a joke princess

The teacher asked the other students to clean the blood? Wow...what a retard, I think he needs to brush up on some basic disease info.

Hope you heal up soon.

Eww, ouch. Get well soon...

We really need a :wince: smiley.

Ouch. Hey. Get better quickly!

I mean.. the type of tools that can kill and cut you.

heh well then i guess you're right int he fact that no-one in celest is remotley capable opf harming anyone at anytime (ok yeh i'm just being a bitch now)

Go get drunk and hush, Murph.

I work in a deli, with slicers, and my worst injuries to date have been: while cleaning a slicer, letting my arm touch the hot plate on the wrapping machine - blistered and scarred within the week - and slicing myself with a bread knife (6 serrations on my thumb). Sanitizing is a pain in the arse afterward (chain supermarket, extremely strict on sanitation ).

Good news: I finally gained enough composture to look at my thumb. It looks pretty normal, other than the stitches. I was expect a gash or a chunk missing. It will probably come out 1/16 of an inch shorter than my other thumb, but nothing TOO noticeable.

I repeat:

Damn Stangypoo. Feel better.
