Chance,
Sorry! Forgot to congratulate you on your wins!
At this rate, you are going to have build a bigger trophy cabinet.

For those that don't know yet, I cut the end of my left index finger off. Wish I had a fantastic story for you.... Like fighting off a grizzly bear, or I poked a mountain lion in the nose.... No Such Luck! Mine is a story of Real Stupidity!!!
I was having some kind of problem with my scooter; grinding noise. I was trying to locate the source of the noise. With the bike running, I grabbed a rag and was trying to carefully clean up some parts and the chain. Needless to say; the rag gets caught and drags my finger through the chain and sprocket. Cut it off at the beginning of the finger nail. A trip to the Emergency Room yielded one finger sewn back on.
That was about 3 weeks ago. Even had to go to work that night and the next 2 days, before work decided that maybe I should be giving it time to heal.
Brilliant idea Boss!!!
Took 2 weeks vacation time, then went back to work. Worked 32 hours in 3 days. Yesterday, I was asked to stop by; I thought to discuss my work schedule and an inquiery as to how my finger was healing. Instead; They fired me because they claim "I have not been doing my job properly. And they have recieved several complaints." BULL!!!! I have always been the guy they call when they need someone to cover a shift or work overtime! My residents love me, as well as their family members!!! I've never called in sick or missed a day of work. I guess I wasn't good employee.
It will be their loss.
The finger is healing slowly. It's got good color, and I even have a bit of feeling in the tip of it. My scooter still isn't on the road and I have no other transportation.
(Did I mention that it is a 7 mile walk to work ?) Anyway, I have some prospects for work that will be a lot closer to home. CNA's are always in demand so it shouldn't be too hard to find a job.
Take Care and Be Safe,
Steve
