Drop kick me Jesus, through the goal posts of life

When building the furniture yesterday, I found that my nifty difty drill wouldn't drive a series of screws because they were sunken too deep into the frontspiece, and I don't have a bit extender.

So I did them by hand.

50 3" screws.

In a row.

No pausing.

Only when I was done, did I realize that the dull throbbing in my the middle of my right palm, where I was pushing on the end of the screwdriver, was because I'd worn away the skin and created a hole somewhere between 1/4" and 1/2" across. The constant pressure deadened it so I couldn't feel it until it was alllllll over.

I've got a redneck stigmata.

After acquiring manymany scars on my hands, I eventually learned that gloves are wonderful things.
I keep a vial of New Skin (newskinproducts.com) in my satchel for this kind of error when I forget the glove thing.
Oh, and owww. Best.

End over end, neither left nor the right

I totally snerked out loud in the computer lab over the phrase "redneck stigmata"

That was pretty goddamn hilarious.

Do you also get a crown of foam Budwiser beer bottle cozys? Or is the headgear more like a truckers cap with 'Git her done' across the front?
