Had a bit of a mishap at work yesterday. IRL. As many of you know, Im a graphic designer, and one of the things we do day-in and day-out is cropping hard-copy documents and such like that. We use a very sharp xacto knife for this. So, cuts and nicks on the fingers are a common hazard of the occupation. Yesterday, I slipped very badly with the knife and nearly took off a chunk of my finger next to the nail from the tip down to the first joint. Avoided cutting the section off completely only by a couple of millimeters. Loud cursing and spurting blood ensued.

Ended up spending most of the afternoon at the workers comp clinic and now my left index finger looks like a chicken drumstick. Makes typing quite difficult I must say. :P No stitches (you really can't put stitches in that particular area cause they'd just pull out), but tetanus shot (which I'm mildly allergic to, yay swelling and pain for days!), antibiotics, and good bandaging should take care of it and I shouldn't lose the tip.

So, yeah, yesterday kinda sucked, and I decided to draw Brock in the same situation last night as a vent. Luckily, I'm right handed so it doesn't effect my drawing at all (because I'm right handed I very rarely cut my right hand badly like this) and I'm pretty much fully functional if uncomfortable.
