Clearly whatever bright bulb thought up the Death of a Thousand Cuts spent far too much time filing. What the hell happened to the paperless office, anyhow?

On the other hand, people keep plying me with chocolate, so I guess I'll let them live.

/goes off grumbling to look for more bandaids...

Ugh, that's the worst. And even if you don't get cut, the tips of your fingers have all the moisture sucked out of them.

The ones I really had are the expanding "red rope" files. Papercuts from those -bleed-.

And yet I'm still too nice to make the interns do my filing. When will I learn? :P

We don't have those, thankfully, and the really bad ones I've run into have been cardboard cuts, trying to tear down cardboard boxes. None of that here today, at least, though my skin is dry as paper no matter how much lotion I put on. Maybe I need to go find some expendable temp interns... oh wait, I AM an expendable temp. *sigh*

The paperless office? We'll have one soon after we have the paperless toilet. (And it's my understanding that the Japanese are already working that one.)

Really? I'm not sure how properly clean I'd feel using that, but I guess it's a question of what you're used to.

[poltr1]

You're right about that. In some European countries, they use bidets to do the clean-up work. (Not here in the US or Canada, though, as far as I know. Except for Casa Loma.) In Japan, they put a high-tech spin on the bidet. Behold, the the TOTO Washlet!

I should turn this tangent into an LJ entry.

*uploads you hugs and chocolate*

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks! Both help!

And tea! Don't forget tea!

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

I have tea up the yingyang, so to speak. However, I'm making the Kahlua Chocolate Trifle to bring to the filk - if you guys make it there, I'll gladly trade for hugs. :)

Ooooh!!

Trying to decide if I should make a side dish or a dessert; I hate the "too many desserts" problem, but I have all this chocolate raspberry frosting left over...

Please keep in mind...this would not be a workers comp issue... *grin*

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

*G* And that gave me the first laugh of the day, so that helps. (Even if you're taking all the fun out of everything even as you give me new ideas!)

Oh we've seen workers comp claims for all kinds of things.

I'll warn Yolanda - if she gets a call from you I'll tell her not to listen. She will be instructed to stick her finger in her ear and say "la la la".

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

Now I'm tempted to be contrary and call her just to say Merry Christmas while she la-las! *G*

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

Just curious now - what's the weirdest workers comp you've ever gotten, legit or not?

[wheezinggirl.livejournal.com]

Oh where do I start...

We had a girl get stung by a bee in her mouth.

We also had a guy who, while working in an office, said he got something in his eye and subsequently needed very expensive surgery. It was proven in court that the issues happened before he "got something in his eye."

We had an internal employee doing sales claim she got injured in a car accident but she went to a doctors office that was miles away from her territory and her car didn't have a scratch on it.

We also had a guy dislocate his shoulder while opening a filing cabinet. He then admitted to us that it was an old football injury - AFTER our workers comp paid for very expensive surgery. There was nothing we could do about it.
