How blonde am I?

So yes in answer to the question above...yesterday I was very blonde. Though I have to say that I did have help from my employer. I worked 16 hours at the plant yesterday.

My supervisor hands me a pair of white meshlike gloves. She says we're supposed to use them when we pull fire extinguishers. Fine. I put them on, and yes they do make it less hard on the hands when you are lifting extinguishers. I notice however in the back of my brain, these are a little slick. So I'm on my way getting the ones that need to be rehydro'd and I get the one from the kitchen. Its gotta weigh 30 pounds since its full. I'm lifting it to put it into the cart, and that thing I said earlier that worried me? Out slides the extingusher from my gloved hands, hits my knee slides down my shin and bounces off my foot. Clang! I curse under my breath in several languages and limp over to get it, cause Ow. I have lovely bruises.

How glad am I that we wear steel toes in our boots? 'Cause thats what it bounced off of.
Saved me from a broken foot.

I am however bruised from tip to tail from yesterday. Blah. More later.


Word of the day: kers

Prettyful, huh? Oh! Do they make prettyful pictures of things? Like a natural tattoo? That would be AWESOME!!! Heee! I am super-excellent. I'll probably do another update soon on everything in general that's been going on. So, keep an eye out. And what about you? What has my lab buddy been up to lately?

It looks like a heart at the end of a chain, though why I would put that on my knee and thigh I will never know! It is pretty awesome.

I am...working and I am going back to school in June. And you've seen the posts on my wonderful new man...*purr*

Silly, Diane! Well, I'm happy for you and your wonderful new man. If he makes you purr, he must be something special.

But you still reported your owwie to your boss, right? Especially your concerns about the gloves?

If your bruise splits open, gets infected, and you have to have surgery for it or die, you really want worker's comp. to pay.

My Supervisor saw me do it....and then almost immediatly afterwords i took off the gloves and she didnt say a word.
