So the night before I go home, the night before I'll have to do lots of heavy lifting, I manage to stab myself in the hand with a pencil.

F*cking ouch!

Right in the fleshy palm between my index finger, thumb, and wrist, just out past the base of my thumb.

It is really damn hard to get a bandaid to stay there, especially since I'm prone to sweaty hands and it's rather warm here at the moment. I have this weird contraption of multiple bandaids acting as anchors to other bandaids, since I don't have any adhesive tape.

Thank god I hadn't packed the bandaids yet!

Does anyone know how long it takes for the graphite stain to work out of the skin?

(There should be a mood for "in pain, damnit" or something similar. "Sore" does not quite cut it.)

ETA, 5/4/08: Nearly four years later, the graphite mark is still there -- a sort of greenish-black stain under my skin. I'm just grateful we don't use lead in pencils anymore!

OUCH!! That hurt just reading about it. Hope it feels better soon. Good luck with the move.
