Well, THAT wasn't very clever...
Well, I heard back from my new employers on Wednesday, and I'm due to start my new job tomorrow morning at 8. This pleases me.
Unfortunately, last night I was doing some TF customising (if you're not sure what I'm on about, have a look at my images and you may get a clue), trying to trim the canopy of a Classics Hot Rod figure with a scalpel. That transparent plastic's hard stuff; it'll snap pretty easily if you put enough force onto it, but it's a bitch to cut. My rotary tool would've made short work of it with a carborundum disc, but the tool mysteriously stopped working a few months back, so... I'm resigned to working mostly with the scalpel for the time being.
Anyway, I'm repeatedly scoring the plastic, gradually getting deeper, and hoping I'll eventually break through to the other side, when... I slipped and somehow (I have no idea how it managed to fly so far off course) cut a deep gash in my left hand. Needless to say I was not best pleased, especially at just past bloody midnight.
As it happened, my housemate had just been dropped off from a night out, and managed to call his friends back and get them to drive me to the hospital. About three hours of waiting later I got three stitches and was sent home.
So I'm now about to start my order picking job with a hand in bandages.
As luck (if that's the right word in this case) would have it, I basically just cut through the heel of my left thumb, and didn't do any damage to the tendons or anything. So aside from being restricted by the bandages and a little pain, I can still use my hand pretty much normally, so it shouldn't affect my work any.
So some relief there, at least.
I think I'll just stick to painting for the next few days...
