I broke my money maker.


I would like to file this under: Things that really Fuckin’ HURT!

I was doing my normal, unscrew the cap, attach the sample to the machine run of mill kind of thing this AM when all of the sudden I felt the worst pinching throbbing pain in my thumb! I looked down to see blood dripping off my thumb. Apparently, on one of the bombs (stainless steel cylinders) as I was screwing the attachment piece on, there was some metal that had been sheered and was sticking up like a metal splinter basically, so as I turned my thumb, it sliced right across it.

So then I sit down to type after I Nurse Betty my thumb (Pokemon reference) and realize that thumb is the “zero button” thumb on the 10 key that is about 93% of my job… oh great.
