Why Jerry-Rigging bandaids is a bad idea...

So I thought I was pretty clever when I made a false tipped bandaid for my finger to type with, well lets say it was a bad idea in hindsight. I had to change the bandages last night and in doing so I got my first real look at my wound and even without the smell its gross. The wrongness started with the hollow tipped bandaid, this tip acted as a blood reservoir that got encapsulated and intermeshed with the severed flesh and thus resulted in a 1.5cm bulbous spear of blood and flesh at my finget tip that is pretty damn eerie. Its not quite a scab, not quite a clump of dried blood, and not quite human. I've been in touch with Believe it or Not but they stopped returning my calls. I know realize that it was not the hollow tip that permitted typing (AWWWW wicked, I am listening to Virgin Radio on Itunes and Paradise City just came on and my shirt just came offff.....Yeahhhh) ah, where was I, oh yeah so in effect it was the nerve-free coagulate that permitted the key strokes. I am not using it anymore needless to say, its still there but its too ungodly to use in any form of good.

I figured out my new job yesterday. After getting my first retail pay check and realizing that it will pay rent, groceries and bills and leave me with an $7 extra a month (2 bottles of Colt 45) I thought long and hard of what to do. Then it hit my on my walk home. I am making $8.25/hr but I am walking home in a $400 jacket, using a $400 Ipod, wearing a $250 pair of hiking boots and $120 extra light quick-dry hiking pants. All I have to do is sell all my stuff and its like I have a great job. Great benifits too, I work my own hours, have 5 weeks vacation a year, etc... I start next week.
