Moving day

[fbhjr]

I moved into my new office today. It’s very nice. Not big, but has a window.
It’s going to take me a while to get my junk adjusted. The IT woman is trying to get the computer going now, so I’m using my laptop for this. And, I’ve giving a tour in 10 minutes to a supplier.

I did find one important lesson. Don’t pick up X-Acto blades with a magnet. It results in a bunch of very sharp blades shooting at your fingers.
But, I had bandaids too.
(Did you know bandaids stop the track pad from working? Now I do...)

I did find one important lesson. Don’t pick up X-Acto blades with a magnet.
Ouch!

Yeah, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
"Look a bunch of loose blades at the bottom of the drawer. I know how to get them all up."

I had just enough time to see them flying at my hand, but not drop the magnet. Of course, once I did drop it, it turned into a hedgehog of blade points sticking out in all directions.

ahahahahaha. I too cut myself on the hand in true dumbass fashion today. "If i push the giant reams of paper and metal over with my hands into the compacter nothing bad can happen..."

I was going to mock your engineering skillz, but then I pulled a doofus this morning too.

We have these trays that are used to hold plaques for spray painting, which we then assemble or I screenprint.

These trays have accumulated hundreds of layers of spray paint over the years, esspecially around the edges of the trays.

Sometimes these start to flake off in various length, and sometimes can be fun to pick at at random intervals.

Today I felt like chipping some pieces off after a few others had flaked off from handling the tray...But I was chipping with a small screwdriver with my right hand, while my left was holding the tray about 5 inches from the screwdriver.

So one solid whack + physics + dumbass = screwdriver being driven into my hand, the web between thumb and finger, nearest to the thumb.

But, superglue is good at closing wounds without much issue. Better than bandaids sometimes.

Still a little sore.

Dropping X-Actos

Would you believe the first time I remembered *not* to catch the X-Acto as it rolled off the drafting board it landed point-down on my leg?

I remember the story. You didn't catch it because you thought it was a soldering iron.
Wouldn't that have hurt too???
