medic!

I was at work tonight, well a box opens up, and drops its contents as i'm holding it, standing on a grating about 20 feet from the ground. Bullets...well my supervisor helps me get what we can, and as hes picking them up off the ground, one goes off, and flys, ,you guessed it, up. I feel something nick my head along with that pop, I look around and shout out trying to find what happened. Well, he told me it went off, I found the casing too, it did. 22 hollowpoint, well I guess it missed me but exploded near me because the side of my head and eye got pepered with frahgments, and I'm told I cant do anything about it yet, I have to wait till tomarow night to go the UPS clinic because it wasnt severe damage. :mad: I've now been chemically burned, had my arms bashed by sliping off a ladder and catching a railing, been hit by hundreds of boxes, passed out from fumes, gotten caught in varuois machenery, and just plain been pissed off there....

UPS-:flipa:

Hope you are alright that you don't have to need sever medical attention. You work for UPS? I used to work for them, can't say it was a pleasant experience. They love to work you to the bone.

Definately sorry to hear that. :(

I hope you weren't too seriously injured this time. Hope things go better today for you.

Boy you must have a guardian angel, and I don't mean the types that wear a beret!

A hollow point would've made a big hole if it were a direct hit, and a regular 22 round is the best piercing round!

Thank your lucky stars and buy a lotto ticket!

Oh I forgot. Did you say you got hit by fragments? Is it fragments of the bullet? If so, I wouldn't put off medical attention as infection is sometimes worse than the actual wound. Take care!

I've had pleanty of arms training, so believe me, when I heard it went off and felt it I was running for cover, and the company doc said it looked like I hit myself in the eye and I was lying, well, I have a supervisor as a witness and other people, but he did flush my eye and inspect it many times, and took stuff out...sooo....hopefully I wont get an inection. :rolleyes:

And about that angel, it seems I got a whole team, many many things have happened which should kill me with me walking away with just a scratch. Never bought a lotto ticket yet though.... :D
