Yesterday, approximately 2200 hours in this house where I am, I * was forced to volunteer* for a task that gives me nothing but disgust.
Cleaning the kitchen
If you have ever been made to clean a kitchen after a sadistic 40 year old man destroys it to fry it's favourite steak for a family of 5, then you have presenciated the closest man kind can be of self anihilation by psycosis.
So..there I was, cleaning the mess, when I open a small closet ( i'm not sure how to call it, it's the kind that's up in the wall, touching the ceiling even :burp
to get a small glass recipient that I had just finished drying, a BIG thing falls off...something like a monolith without a top....made of glass. So, I swiftly get the empty hand in the way of that thing, and guess what.
At an approximate speed of 2km/h, that thing explodes at touch with my hand. And I mean EXPLODES like glass all over the kitchen (which isn't small...) including the open closet and the sink....
So, I go into the living room, where I warn to my parents that the noise they just heard was not the end of the World but yes just a glass recipient exploding in my hand.
My mom starts getting all jumpy and asks if I'm alright and all..I say yes, surprisingly, nothing happened to me.
Then blood starts dripping from my hand. At that point I just look at my hand, which apparently did suffer from the impact, jidging from the blood that was running along it. 2 of my fingers had some nearly invisible but deep cuts, and we're bleeding quite badly....
So, I get patched up and go back to work, now to clean the kitchen. Now of course, glass shards are something you have to take much care with unless you want to get cut. But I trusted my l33t skills....which gave me 2 more cuts, in the other hand. This time one of the fingertips was cut, along with my palm.
so....with 4 cuts overall, I decided it was time to go with the heavy stuff. I got the vacuum cleaner and started vacoming the sink and the ground. But imagine my surprise when I shut it off and get the tube pointed down to get it back stored and a big, sharp piece of glass falls on my foot, cutting my toe.
So, eventually it gets all clean, with 5 cuts to tell the story, I get relieved of the duties and my mother cleans up the dish.
The worse thing is, I had to finish an important convo...so I had to type with my nice, patched, hurting fingers for a few hours....
(yeah, they're better now, that's why I wrote all THIS ^^ today [same thing on the script thread])
I'm still wondering how the hell did that thing exploded in my hand. I mean it fell for 2cm!!!it had almost no gravitacional pull!!!
reality is FUBAR
