Razor Blade Carnage. Open at your own risk!!

[Rock Hopper]

Had a little mishap while cutting a piece of tubing with a razor blade at work last night. I had to remove a mandrel from a piece of tubing and, like an idiot, chose a razor blade to do the job. (Sorry, Erik!) As I'm thinking to myself "I shouldn't be doing it this way" the blade slips and does a number on my thumb and index finger. I'm posting this picture as a reminder to myself and everyone else to think twice before doing things we KNOW are careless.

It didn't hurt too bad (I think I went into mild shock) and I was more embarrassed and feeling foolish than anything. The most ironic part about it all is that I am the M.E.R.T. member for swingshift hours in my building. (Again sorry Erik!)

So before the next time you try something foolish, just remember this pic!

I got the call from Security on Thurs night at like 11:00 PM to let me know that somone cut their finger and was taken to the hospital.  Then he says it's Dustin.  Doh!  Not good. 

We have a new addition to the list of how to know when you're addicted to NCKA...

#73  You post your work-related injury report on NCKA.org before you get around to submitting it on your employer's reporting system.

#73  The safety manager at your place of employment begins getting injury reports faster on NCKA.org then through the reporting system that is in place at work.
