ouch!

Ok, I have worked at this mirror and glass place for 2 and a half years and today is a first. I cut myself on a piece of glass! Can you believe it?
I had some questions on an order that came in wrong and asked Tom what the deal was. He showed me the pieces that needed to be returned and we were moving them to a central spot in the shop. He moved the first one and I grabbed the second one and as I grabbed it I noticed a faint stinging in my right hand. Felt like a paper cut. I only had to move the piece about four feet but that was enough. I could feel the weight of the glass slide into my fingers. On the palm side of my hand right where my fingers crease I have three cuts on my index, middle, and ring fingers. Hurts like hell. Then a little while later I was showing it to Tommy (different than Tom) and he suggested that I put alchohol on it. I told him no way, that will sting. He promised that it will hurt for a minute but then it will feel better. I told him again no and slowly held out my hand. Holy crap that stings. I can't beleive I just did that. I was shaking my hand and he tells me to blow on it. About a minute later I had no pain so I guess it was worth it. But it sure did hurt.
I have seen some really bad cuts around here. One guy that was delivering some glass came into the office and asked for a bandaid. His cut was about four inches long and he couldn't get it to stop bleeding. I said are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital and he tells me no it'll be fine. That was the last time I seen him.
Another guy had just gotten married the week before but did not take any time off for a honeymoon. He was cutting some glass in the shop on Friday morning and a piece jumped off the table and attacked his leg. No one saw the attack but he was out of work for three months and then we found out that he wasn't worth a shit so we never hired him back. Everyone agreed that he just wanted some time off to be with his peribian wife.

Not too much else going on in my neck of the woods. Noel has asked me to marry him several times and he has even set a date, April 22. I'll try to keep ya posted on that but since we have not even dated I don't see this happening!
