Dangerous Paper
I think that I’ve gotten more paper cuts on my fingers in the last two weeks than in the last 10 years!
It’s crazy—I swear that every time I touch a journal or some stack of papers, they find a way to slice me. The worst ones, of course, are the ones that you can feel, but can’t see.
Luckily I haven’t gotten any today, but it is only 8:30am—the day is still young! UPDATE, 10:04am: Well, there goes that! Just sliced the ring finger on my right hand. Ow!
**sniggers** that’s what you get for tempting fate!

“God punishes you immediately”
basically, whenever you say something hasn’t/will never/doesn’t happen, TADAA! it does :)

And you know, I guess it doesn’t hurt THAT much—and I suppose I’m getting used to it. Although, I’m thinking I should avoid hand-squeezing lemons for the time-being. :)

OK, I’ll match your papercuts and raise you cuts on cardboard, tuna pouches and plastic containers. Fold?

I have cut myself on cardboard before—but I think the worst was when I cut myself on the edge of a plastic school binder. Thank god I don’t touch THOSE things daily!

The real challenge, though, is not to scream out “Holy F&^%!” :D
