Little Prick!

One of the joys of being a mechanic type is the constant pain in the ass of getting little metal slivers in your hands and fingers. It’s even worse for me now that I work in a steel production plant. It is almost a weekly thing.

I spent 3 days digging this little bastard out of the pad on the end of my right index finger.

It was basically a No Seeum.

I could sure feel the fucker though. I wound up using a lighted magnifying glass and that pointed sliver removal tool. As you can see, the tip of that was bigger than the sliver so I had to gouge a fucking hole in my finger and then lever the little splinter out.
