Sorry I’ve been kind of mia lately. Last week I worked four 8.5 hour shifts in a row, and then on my “day off” I had to wake up, go to class, go home, study for a few hours, go back to campus and take an exam, go back home, study for a few more hours, go to campus again for another exam, go home, take a quiz, do an article and do a 200 question homework assignment. And then it was time to go to sleep so I can do another 4 days in a row of 8.5 hour shifts.
So today at work (day 2 of 4) I was nearing the end of my shift, and rushing to get my work done, and I guess I zoned out for a second, and managed to cut myself. Usually I would just bandaid up, and keep going. But there was a lot of blood, and I managed to cut through my nail bed as well.
So then begins the long fun process of filling out an accident report. And then, get this, I’m sent to a walk in clinic 20 minute from my job to get checked out, even though I work at a hospital.
And if you get injured on the job, you have to take a drug test. Well I guess I was severely dehydrated because it took 4 20z bottles of water, 3 attempts, and almost 2 hours for me to fill the little cup. I was frustrated almost to the point of tears. All just so I could get a tetanus shot and a paper stitch on my thumb.
The obviously after such an annoying day, I needed some liquid comfort. I reached into my pile of samples and pulled out this guy. And while he might not erase my stress, he helped make me a but more mellow.

It only hurts when I forget its there and accidently jam it into things. I’m a terrible klutz, I don’t seem to have very good body awareness or something and am always banging parts of myself into things. The thing I’m most worried about is losing the nail xD. I’ve seen nails in the process of falling off and its nasty!
That’s terrible. :/ But you are working hard!
