22 Weeks 6 Days: Don't Bite The Hand...


Dear Baby,

Power tools are dangerous.

Sincerely,

Dad






So, yes. I cut the tip of my finger off with a circular saw. The homeowner where I was working had to take me to the emergency room where the sewed it back on. And then they will be sending me a bill. Who knows how much that will be. $10,000. Maybe a million? And then I have to go back and pay a doctor to remove the stitches. Of course my inexpensive doctor said he could do it, but I'm thinking about just doing it myself. Snip snip, pull. Snip, snip, pull. It's not rocket science. Which makes it so frustrating that these doctors charge so much. Some of these procedures are really simple.

And of course, not only did the hospital cost me money, but it backed up my workload so I had to reschedule a lot of work this week for next week and I'll be making less money. So it double screwed me. I guess I'll be more careful around power tools from now on.
