Stab Wound


Ok, so not like a real stab wound, but it sounded cool! I started working at Victoria's Secret this week. I really like it so far. The whole team is really great, so that makes it a little easier to ease back into Limited Brands. Today was the completion of my first week back and in the middle of my shift I managed to step on the pin part of the sensors for our higher ticket items and the sucker went right through my shoe and into my toe. It was one of those moments where you know exactly what is going on, but the law of physics (an object in motion shall remain in motion blah blah blah) prohibits you from avoiding the horror that lies ahead. So, as my foot was stepping down, I felt the pin go through my shoe and into the meat of the toe. YUCK! I politely finished my transaction and went to the back to triage myself. Just to be safe (and because workman's comp says you have to) I had to go to the urgent care center and get a tetnus shot. I have to say that the shot was worse than the stab!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe Jon mentioned Tony :)
Nice work on the stab wound. I'm glad they didn't have to amputate. I'm sorry that I haven't left you a comment lately but they blocked me at work. I always checked your site from work but they blocked the website. Boo! I have to look from home now and that's a little harder.
