OOC: Reunion - (Redo)

And gloves, you sound like an OHS nightmare.

I had gloves, just not the right ones.

What I needed was like gloves that would give me the dexterity and grip of surgical gloves while also having the durability and stopping power of rawhide work gloves. Because I only had work gloves, I attempted to go at these beasts with just my weightlifting gloves (which saved my palms but have no fingers) and I totally sliced my fingers to hell, and allowed me to bleed through the work gloves when I put them back on. Which says something because those are cow hide and apparently I was bleeding enough inside of the glove that it shows on the outside of the glove. Intense shit.

Anyway, I have learned my lesson (just like I did when I was using that Swiss Army Knife sawblade as a screwdriver and sliced open the back of my index finger so badly that it required 6 stitches) and have decided that I no longer have any aspirations to work with glass.

Ever.

I hate glass so much.

More than zombies.

And Nazis.

I would even go so far as to say that I hate glass more than I hate robot vampire zombie Nazis from outer space, who were sent back in time from the future to enslave all of humanity.

*shrug*

In the end I quit, and I'm getting paid for my three hours of work, and honestly I didn't expect to get paid when I was quitting three hours into the day, so I'm actually pleased as punch with the way that turned out.

I still don't think that 31.50 is worth the damaged hands, but it's more than I would have gotten had I stayed home all day and capped zombies in the face in killing floor.

I would say I'm disappointed in you, but that would be hypocritical.

I have worked in stupid environments before.

When I worked census we had a manager who insisted that if we didn't work harder we were all going to get fired, and had the middle men between her and us in tears constantly. We once all got told to shut up (we assume because she was hung over).

The main point is that physical abuse is very different from mental abuse, because I don't care if you insist that I am a stupid idiot who can't do anything as long as you sign my time sheet and I still get a pay check every two weeks. If what I am doing causes me to bleed, and is likely to continue causing me to bleed on a daily basis, I had better be making more than 10.50 an hour.
 
Thanks, love. And thanks everyone who's posted. Let's get this show on the yacht!
 
Gah, I am SO sorry guys, I'm going to go post right now.
 
Thanks for posting Warr.

Now, we have a new addition. Leopald is going to take over Aaron, and we're going to change him from Juliet's brother to good friend.

When he gets the new intro up, we'll be set and ready to go from there. :D

Sorry it's taken so long. I'm sure things will pick up as we get going.
 
No, firefly is on vacation. Says she should be back today or tomorrow. If she's not, I might just take over so we can get this thing going.
