“OUCH”
Last week, the little demon was playing with her water bottle again, smashing it on the floor. But this time…
A piece of the lid broke off.
I picked up the bottle…
“Hmm, I think it’s still usable?”
(hey, if I throw away everything the little monster breaks… I might as well throw away the house)
So… I picked it up, washed it, sanitized it, and kept it.
Until this morning…
I grabbed the bottle, filled it with hot water, and…
SUDDENLY
I felt something wet… something burning.
*PHHHHIZZZZZ*
The water bottle turned into a water bomb, blasting 100°C in all directions through the broken lid—burning three of my fingers.
Second-degree burn.
My finger looked like those foam rollers you find at the gym… with massive, irregular blisters covering the skin.
That’s why, right now, I’m typing this email with 3 fingers wrapped up like a mummy. And I have to admit…
It’s hard typing with a single hand.
Especially when you’re helping a client plan their biggest mid-year promotion in their brand history. We aim to double their revenue from BCFM last year.
But I kept writing.
Slow, maybe.
But I got it done.
Because I’m a professional.
And that’s what “being professional” means.
Back to work…
