Cr@@py birthday to me

[Globalti]

A clean cut with a clean fresh blade will heal fast, just watch out for infection.

No washing up for you. Some would call that a result.

Thats what mrs v said!

 

[Drago]

Things you cant do for the foreseeable:

Washing up.
Taking the bins out.
DIY.
Ironing.
Making the beds.
Cutting the grass.
Gardening.
Cutting up your own food.
Bathing.
Picking your nose.

Apart from the last one it looks like a win-win scenario to me.

 

[Arjimlad]

Ouch... get well soon & hopefully you will enjoy the benefits of wifely sympathy as you convalesce !

 

[fossyant]

wifely sympathy

Where do you live ? Cloud Cookoo Land ?

Bet the OP was told to be more careful next time.

Of course, in my day youd be back up the chimneys 6 minutes after accidentally lopping your foot off.

About 17 years ago I had to go to sand e to stitch my hand as I had cut it on glass on the milk round came out and had to finish round

Nasty - hope it heals soon.

Back in the day I ended up on the elf-n-safety committee at work, and one of the rituals was reading through the accident book. The regulars were "cut with Stanley knife" and "stabbed hand with screwdriver". We did a bit of a safety campaign which said little more than "be careful" and "is there another way to do this" and we did have lower numbers afterwards. The factory folk weren't stupid, but the reminder that it was happening regularly and that for every 10 minor cuts there could be one bad one like the OP's and for every 10 of those you could get one serious injury, did encourage people to be more careful.

I was forced under protest to be our team's rep, then first meeting suddenly I was the bloody chairman . Initially it was a dull waste of time as there were pages and pages of minutes and the meeting lasted all afternoon. The next meeting I forgot to ask the secretary, who had previously diligently done the minutes complete with "he said, she said" and all that, so did the minutes myself. I simply didn't minute all the "no paper in trap 3 last tuesday" nonsense and got the thing down to a page of actions and an hour's meeting and we actually did improve a couple of things, eg fume extraction for the soldering line as well as publicity on the cuts thing. Quite a worthwhile thing when we did it sensibly and got rid of the noise

Elf and Safety the way it was always supposed to be.

My first job from school was very briefly working in an electronics factory while my army application progressed. They were very good, actors for solder fumes etc, but it was all pointless - in warm weather we would naturally open the windows, only to have to breathe the pungent fumes expelled from the extraction system of the porn magazine printing firm next door.
