today at work i was merchandising the back wall. as i was doing this, i was reaching down to pick up some merch off the floor when a t-shirt hook caught my forehead. they look like this:

needless to say, that didn't feel great. i ran to the backroom to find that i was bleeding from a deep cut. after freaking out my manager and a bit of commotion, i ended up in the ER getting my forhead superglued back together.
i go in for a 3 hour shift and somehow managed this...

Sculpey,
no shit! with over 2 and a half years in retail i'm AMAZED something like this didn't happen sooner!
Quikman,
let's hope so!
Andy,
i'm damn glad it wasn't my eye. i don't think i would have messed up bad enough to hit my eye, but i still lucked out.
bone,
not too worried about that...heh. so far i think i just kind of freaked my girl out, but then she got all empathetic, so that's cool. heh
Meg,

Peeker,
i don't blame you. i laughed myself. as did my manager. it's just one of those stupid things that people do. what can i say...
Bio,
