Re: I was injured today at work
The man's only got one operational hand, Cloudy. If 2 extra seconds is too much, two hands is *way* too much.

Re: I was injured today at work
LoA, you work in construction. These things are bound to happen to you eventually. If the injury is bad enough, and your employer is bad enough, you certainly have worker's rights to enforce. My earlier comment was crass, mostly clouded by my own stupid personal injury, but if you have a real injury and want a lawyer for some reason, let me know, I'll try to see if there's someone in your area I can refer you to. From my own experience, I've had bosses who have said, "If you fall off the ladder you're fired before you hit the ground," so I know how they can be.

Thanks TL, I was mainly over-dramatizing a minor injury. Oddly enough I was framing an an attic access and the nail went sideways (happens, knot or whatever) and hit the same finger lol. All will be fine in a few days. So I'm still opening beers with the off-beer hand. I work for myself, I can only sue myself. I would never sue over minor bullshit in any case. Hell I didnt sue when I should have 20 years ago when I shredded my hand. Probably should have but I'm just not sue-happy. But yea I've often heard the fired before hitting ground thing lol.

Re: I was injured today at work
LOA, I, like you it seems, am working only on my merit these days, billing hourly, etc. I appreciate you making light of the injury, as most of us often do (A Tim Allen manly "hurr" is welcome here). If your injury becomes real or life-changing, then I'd say seek legal advice. Otherwise, it seems you've done what most of us do, and applied the "suck it up" principle. This is not a bad thing, and we men know that. Best to you.

Re: I was injured today at work
Ok Mr. iRobot, human flesh and machinery are not compatible!
Hope it heals well!

Re: I was injured today at work
On the accident report.
Cause of accident? Stupidity. How could this accident be prevented in the future? Less stupidity. My foreman got a kick out of that. |
