The other day at work, I cut my finger. It wasn’t any thing serious but I was still bleeding none the less. Concerned that I might get blood on my suit and\/or co-workers, I decided that I needed a band aid. Knowing that we keep a first aid kit in the supply room, I headed there for, well, first aid.<\/p>\n
There, in the supply room, lying on a table was a 12″x12″ box with a white lid and a big red cross in the center. I popped the lid and looked inside. Inside I noticed a box of large gauss pads and a box of small gauss pads, a roll of gauss, a sling and an eye patch but no band aids.<\/p>\n
Now, I question having a sling or eye patch in a first aid kit. To me, those are the kinds of injuries that should be left to the 911 folks and not the office staff. But, I suppose it is hard to come up with a kit that meets every ones needs.<\/p>\n
I looked at the inside of the lid to find out where everything is located. In the spot where the band aids should be located is a roll of gauss. We have gauss, gauss, and more gauss. Well, I decided that I’ll just have to use the gauss.<\/p>\n
Taking out the roll of gauss, I started rapping it around my finger. Having made several laps around my finger, I started looking for the first aid kit scissors so I can cut the gauss but the scissors are also missing. Ah, but I am in the supply room. Certainly there must be some scissors. But alas, no.<\/p>\n
Being a quick thinker, I spotted a paper sheer and immediately revised my plan. Sticking the gauss under the shear, I slice it to the required length. Success. Now for some tape.<\/p>\n
The tape from the first aid kit was also missing but that is ok. There is plenty of tape in the supply room. Grabbing a prime roll of cellophane tape, I wrap it around my the gauss on my finger and my bandage is now complete.<\/p>\n
As I am exiting the supply room, I lower my hand and the bandage falls off. Drat! But by this time, the bleeding stopped anyway so there is no point in having the bandage any more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
