So it begins...

So I've started my own blog. My personal ground rules are simple. I will not disclose any incriminating information nor implicate any personal aquaintances...nor will I make a complete fool of myself unless I've made a complete fool of myself.

So why don't I go ahead and hit the ground running. I was shaving cheese on Sunday with a hyper sharp Bed Bath and Beyond cheese shaver and managed to shave off the tip of my thumb. It, along with a nice slice of monterey jack, fell into the sink as blood began to drip onto its white porcelain surface. After calling for my wife, my brain began to produce and flood massive amounts of endorphines into my blood stream. Searing pain quickly shifted to naseau. I laid on the floor until my light headedness subsided. Our cat saw it as an oppurtunity to lay on my chest. We managed to bandage it up and I eventually headed to our local drugstore for some bandage supplies. The pharmacist behind the counter urged me to see a doctor immediately so I went ahead and dropped by our local hospital ER. The ER Doc gave me a tetnus shot and told me to see my doctor this week to have it examined for possible infection. So yesterday, thats what I did. Hooked up with a new doc, nice guy, very thorough. At one point, he grabbed my finger and said "This is going to hurt" and proceeded to rub the center of the open wound with an alchohol patch. LUDICROUS pain.

So that's where I am today...on my lunch break in front of the computer. My finger over-bandaged and completely useless. I'm eating food provided by a pharmaceutical company; it's one the perks of working at a mental health clinic. I have a few ethical issues about being catered to by an industry who specifically hires and sends young attractive female phamaceutical reps to flirt with clinicians all in service of brand recognition. I'll blog about that another time. Opps, I forgot to remind my wife of a co-worker's retirement dinner tonight. Its going to be quite a shin-dig; Venezuelan food and Salsa dancing. He and his wife are moving back to Venezuela and I'd like to say goodbye. Perhaps I can convince my wife to swing by for a bit. I'll let you know tomorrow.

As for Friday, I am having a bunch of fellow goobers over for a night of abject nerdocity. I am the Master Goober Host, MGH, for the evening. I've planned the festivities for over a week and am quite anxious and excited about how it will go down.

So, hows that for my first blog.
