S-mart sucks at working aka S-Marts battle wound...with PICS

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...

Whoa !! That sucks. Very few people understand the dangers of store fixtures. I hope you heal up soon.

sorry to hear man..but hey what dosent kill you makes you stronger .. [img]wink.gif[/img]

OUCH! Good thing it wasn't your eye!

"Why can't I work in retail mom?"

"You'll poke your eye out, that's why!"

no worries, chicks dig scars...

builds character! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

sorry to say, I kinda laughed a little...
but at least it wasn't yer eye.

the mental image of you springing up after getting hit and going through one of those standalone shelf thingies makes me laugh.

hooray for head injuries!

SUE!!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

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,
it builds somethin!

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,
hoooooraaaaaayippeepie.

LV,
nah, i got workmans comp, so they payed for patching me up. i also got a free tetanus shot out of it. woohoo!

Pappy,
damn! crazy story. let's just be glad we came out alright! well...in some ways, at least. in others...there's just no hope for us... [img]wink.gif[/img]

Ya know, maybe this kinda thing wouldn't happen is that store didn't try to pack 30 cubic tons of crap into a 10 cubic ton space... Seriously, could those stores crowd in ANY more shit?

Glad it wasn't your eye S-mart. in a year you won't even see the scar...

Damn dude! That sucks, good thing it wasn't more serious though.

good point, LV.
as an American, isn't he OBLIGATED to sue?

OUCH! That sucks dude!

Andy's right though. It's a damn good thing it wasn't your eye.

Two winters ago, I was out on the front deck shoveling snow, and when I turned to toss a scoop over the fence, I got nailed with this old swinging iron plant hook!

It hit me right below the eye, cut me, and literally pushed my lower eyelid under my eye ball!
The left side of my face went numb, and I freaked! Thank god the feeling came back after 15 minutes or so, but I tell ya...a couple millimeters up, and my eye would have been fuct!
Hurt like a son of a bitch!

We're quite surprised at how tiny, and unnoticeable the scar is!
What a burn! I figured I'd at least get a good scar out of it! [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

heh. how've you been, DA?

..tired. And you?

not too bad...a little busy. between working 2 jobs, a girlfriend, and a band, i've got a few things going on. jobs give me money, girlfriend is great, and my band is kicking ass, so i can't complain. i made a site for us if you want to check it out...it's geocities and a work in progress, but aside from those 2 things it's not so bad... http://geocities.com/amniotics

Nice scar S-mart. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] Glad that you didn't poke your eye out thought.

I had a head injury back in 2000 at school when I was in 8th grade. It was the end of the schoolday and I was walking down the stairs and the ceiling was literally a few inch above my head, since I was 6 ft 1 inch tall at that time. (Im 6 ft 5 now) So I jumped a step near the bottom of the stair and the top of my head hit the edge of the ceiling. I thought i was going to get a bump, not until I felt the warm, oozing blood dripping down to my forehead. I went to the nurse's office and wait there until my parents and the ambulance arrived.

Paramedic made sure I was fine, not getting dizzyness, if i knew where I was and other typical questions. I was fine, didn't suffer any side effect from the injury. I went to the hospital and had two stitches. Here the part that will make you guys cringe. The doctor suggested not to give me any local anethetic painkiller, as he said it will hurt alot more if he did inject the painkiller into the wound. So he stitched the cut. Surprisenly it actually didn't hurt, except that i could feel the skin being tighten.

As the doctor finished covering the cut up, a nurse tapped my head, right on the fricking wound!So long story short, I came home and stay home from school for two days. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

ouch!

i sliced my noggin open on a chain link fence in first grade. when my hair's short you can see the scar.

yay for scars!

Always remember young grasshopper....Chicks Dig Scars. Just don't tell her where you got that one.

ouch man. as has been said, glad it wasn't your eye...

Jor,
no shit. both stores i work at(hot topic and suncoast, hot topic especially) cram WAY too much shit into a tiny tiny store. oh well...nature of the beast...

TCM,
you got it. not so bad, though. looks worse than it was. on a side note, i finally picked up Re-Animator(the big version in the green case. discontinued maybe?) and thought of you while watching it. really enjoyed it. going to have to track down Bride, now. we only had a fullscreen version at Suncoast, and well...fuck that.

...pretty. [img]graemlins/bat.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Absolutely! Glad you're ok. Last time I bumped my head really hard I ended up hemorrhaging - and the next thing I knew I was in Phoenix with a coupe of neurologists digging around in my skull. Not a pleasant experience. [img]eek.gif[/img]

DA,
only for you

Madadman,
damn! i don't doubt it was unpleasant...

...my word, I've slammed my head and face into any number of things without the least ill-effects...save for some short-term memory problems.

It's a manly scar, truly, S-Crubby. It becomes you.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Haha, hell yeah man, gotta love the Re-Animator films. If you like the first one, you will dig the second just as much. Have you seen Beyond Re-Animator yet? Not quite as good as the first two, but good none the less. Jeffery Combs is the man! Glad to hear you finally checked it out and like it. Anyone who hasn't seen the Re-Animator films, needs to right away! \m/

good to see you around these parts, GD...
