OW! I broke my finger at work today and now I can't sleep!

I thought the Percocet would knock my ass out, but I'm wired for sound. My finger hurts a bit but I really don't care.

1. That'll learn ya

to take better care of yer digits, won't it? ;)

Sorry you broke your finger, rustydog. Good vibes comin' your way.

2. Owwwwww!

How in heck did you do that?

4. Training class at work. We get pepper sprayed and then have

to fight the offender (he has pads) for 60 seconds to learn you can overcome the effects of being sprayed.

I was the one with pads and the "good guy" fought a little too hard, knocked a pad free and grabbed and twisted my ring finger, effectively fracturing it. It was pointing in a direction it isn't supposed to be pointing.
I go in to a specialist tomorrow to see if I need surgery.

I've been in this bidness for 26 years and my first lost work time is from class!

5. Whoa!

Hope you heal quickly! BTW, check your PM in a few.

7. Whatever it is you do,

I'm putting it on my 'Jobs I Do Not Want' list!

Hope your finger gets better w/o the surgery...

8. I work healthcare security..Mostly it is PR work

But my 2nd month at he new job, I got in a knock down drag out fight with a food thief who did not want to wait for police. i didn't even get scatched on that one!
Once, I had some guy try to stab me with a screwdriver..did not even touch me..But a co worker breaks my finger!

OOps, spelling is getting bad, Narcotics must be kicking in!

10. At least you work in the right place for an injury...

And at least you know your coworker is one tough dude - the next screwdriver swinging maniac gets a double-dose of whomping...

That must be a tough job to have; I'd imagine that nearly everyone you encounter is pretty stressed, leading to the likelihood of odd behavior.

11. Yea, you are right. But Kirkland does not get the clientele

I dealt with in Yakima. A big gang and drug problem lead to many a fun night in the ER.

3. Damn.

I feel for ya.

I fear pain more than death.

[rustydog]

6. I'll tell you what, even though my coworker was blinded by

pepper spray, he took the fight out of me when I heard and FELT my finger snap.

9. I'm sorry about your finger ...

and about your pain
