So I'm at work today accepting the beer order as per the norm for every Tuesday since I've been here, when I decide to move a keg of hoegaarden into the fridge. That particular keg hits a spot of water as I'm dragging it, and the next thing I know, my fooking hand is slammed in between two in kegs.
What's my first reaction? Pull the fookin thing free.
Yeah.
As I do that, I feel a pop, since the two kegs really didn't wanna let my hand free.
But I'll be damned, I got it free, and the first thing I did was grab it and shriek in absolute silence.
Of course, as soon as I grabbed my hand, I felt another POP!!!, as my fookin knuckle POPPED RIGHT BACH INTO THE JOINT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN!!!!!!
Of course, what do I do? Finish the next 6 hours of my elevenn hour shift, then have a pint, then go for a couple drinks with a few staff members. And now I'm at home thinking, why is my god damn hand so swollen and yellow?
Sweet Jeebus!!
Hey-zues Chris!!
Anybody ever done like this to themselves? |

when i was 10 we were on a train to ukraine and i was running around in between the trains (dont know why) and accidentally shut one of the doors on my thumb, the doors were very heavy and made out of metal so you can imagine the pain
couldn't sleep for 3 days |

| When I was injured on the job (which i no longer work at), first call goes to supervisor and then the health and safety union rep. You go see a doctor, as opposed to working the rest of your shift in pain, which is what you did.;) |

Yeah. You really should have let your boss know about this incident.
If your hand gets ed up later, you can't just say to your boss 'hey, I ed up my hand the other day. I need workers comp' or whatever. |

Exactly! Plus you would've gotten paid for the rest of your shift, and any other shift you miss as a result of the injury...
Trying to be cool was not the brightest idea. |

+1 plus paid for the remainder of the shift. |

Yeah, but reporting it to the boss at the time would have meant reporting it to myself. Plus I didn't even think twice of it at the time. There was the initial bolt of pain when it popped and then popped again, and then it was just kind of uncomfortable. Grabbing it was strictly reactionary, but helped out. Getting paid for the rest of the shift wouldn't have mattered, as I'm not an hourly employee, and regardless of how serious the injury could have been, it's not of the nature to have caused me to miss any work (short of the rest of that shift had I gone to get it looked at).
Anyways, it's allright today. The swelling is gone allready (years of sports related injuries and bad knees have taught me how to properly ice an injury), it's somewhat uncomfortable depending on how I try to use it, and it's definitly a little discoloured, but overall I'm none the worse for the wear. (None the wiser either, but that's a different story) |
