not a work-related injury

if it's not one thing, it's another. am i wrong? something's getting torn up all the time around here. if it's not the go away mat then it's i. an hour and a half or so ago i was cutting a bagel. it's not that i wasn't paying attention; i actually watched the knife's serrations bite into my index finger. i was powerless to stop it. i swore (inwardly). i'm not keen on blood, so i wrapped a bandage around the wound without inspecting it. the thought of pinching the wound open to check for depth entered my mind, but i did act on it. i confess i got a little woozy, but that passed. blood pooled about the edges of the bandage and dotted the keyboard as i continued to work. so after a few minutes i removed the bandage and applied a bit of this product to the laceration. it's a product i employ from time to time. it doesn't smell great initially and (due to my questionable borderline ocd) i tend to peel it off prematurely; those are the downsides. but now i can type fine. there is little pain. and i guess that's all i have to say about that.
