So you think you are a tough guy huh?

Well let me tell you about tough! Last night at work I was alone in the back room/warehouse. I was unloading a very large piece of art when a great deal of pain shot from my finger through the rest of my body. I dislocated the end of my middle finger. Not completely, but it was deffinately not in the right place. Thankfully I was the only person back there because I did the "oh crap this really hurts and looks really gross" dance. Knowing that there were about 4 hours left in my shift and thanks to a cut in hours, I need what ever hours I can get, I had little choice in what to do. I had to put it back in place and get back to work. So I did a little paceing, a lot of breathing, some planning, and some dancing around. I had to talk myself into it. I had to pshyc myself up. I got the nerve and the juice up and grabbed my finger, pulled and twisted. My face went flush, tears filled my eyes, and my legs went weak. I did a little more dancing, then knelt down behind some boxes to catch my breath and gain my composure. Again thankful for the fact that no one was aroung to see my little display. Unfortuneately, I later remembered there is at least one Camara in the back room, and the entire thing was on video. However, my back was to said camara the entire time, so if the video is viewed, they will see a lot of arm shaking and bending over. So basicly I will look like a blone chimp dancing around and squating over. Nice. A little humiliation with my pain. BUT I did put it back in place, and finished my shift with very very little complaining about it. Yes, I get the tough guy award this week!!!!
