Yesterday I had a hell of a long day. At 11:45 in the morning I was called up to the register to cut of a security device from a baseball bat. I was using a box cutter and my hand slipped after I cut off the device. The cutter drove into my thumb and inside of the nail tearing it through down to the cuticle. I was spraying blood all over the place including on the customer nearby and on the service counter. When I reached the break room my hand was covered in blood and I was turning white in the face.
After some treatment my boss ignorantly told me that I'm fine that it was just a cut. My other manager applied more treatment like disinfectant and other stuff. I still managed to finished my shift at 5PM, so they should be kissing my ass. When I finished I went to a Walgreens and the health consultant told me to have it checked by a doctor in case of infection. We went to this nice urgent aid center in Flossmore, about 20 minutes from my place and when they called my work one of my managers said that I come over there first to finish the report and then seek treatment.
So I had to drive back to work hungry as hell. My family and I ended up having to stop at Quizno's because it was getting so late and we were all hungry. BTW, those new Mountain Dew flavors are good. Anyway, I ended up having to go all the way back to Flossmore and had to wait a while to get treatment this time. In the end I had to get X-Rays and a shot to avoid infection. The nurse told me that my boss should've let me go immediately from work because I could've needed stitches and it would've been too late by the time they treated me .. at 10:30 PM!!
I had been on the run around all day and night with an injury to my thumb, hungry as hell and dealing with tornadic weather outside to boot. I'm not paid enough for that type of shit, but I'm just glad I'm fine today. The nial is going to fall off in a few months and my thumb is black in some spots from major bruising.
