"What did you do? Poke yourself with a pencil? Massive paper cut?" My mother laughed after I told her I got injured at work last week.
This particular injury of mine was quite the gusher. It was a pretty dumb injury, so I didn't bother going to the ER (although it probably could have used a stitch or two).
Dumbness aside, it actually WAS work-related. And I've had students do all kinds of things to themselves in lab (mostly unintentionally).
What's the worst on-the-job injury you've seen/had? And does anyone take it seriously when you come home and say "honey, I hurt myself in the classroom....again" ?
