Mine was at work too, I cut my thumb to the bone through the tendon with a razor knife I just put a brand new blade in. What a dumb ass
That sucks!
I also swung a hammer quite a bit.
I did a lot of swinging of a mop
Ha! I did that too!
I worked as a 'stripper'. That's not what you think. We would go in and strip the wax and apply new wax on tile floors. We did giant things, like stores and malls. We'd be a week in a single location. Each section of floor was mopped a dozen times by the time you were done with it.
On top of that, I mopped a shitton while enlisted - for my first go-round. I was a grunt and only a grunt. My MOS was infantry 'cause, well, I figured I was gonna die so I might as well go out a full fledged warrior. I was all sorts of stupid and gung-ho.
But, when you're just a warrior Marine, there's a lot of stupid shit they make you do to keep you busy. I also painted everything. All the things that didn't get painted, got shined. Floors got waxed and buffed.
