holy shit

yep. this for real realz

yeah yeah. i know not to get too close but accidents happen. thanks though.

Fuck, dude. That is some shit. So like 1cm of your right index? One of my buddies cut off a fairly substantial part of his thumb on a bandsaw during shop class in middle school. It was reattached and was gross gnar for a while, but it's fine now. I'll pray to Bike Jesus for ya.

I'm primarily lefty, but can write with my right. I bat right in softball too.

Jarome, anything you need that we can help yah with homie?

bschultz:

I'll pray to Bike Jesus PENGY for ya.

shit jayrome that sucks

thanks everybody for the well wishes.

I hope it heals up nice. But even if not, one slightly shorter finger won't kill you, right? At least it wasn't your nose or something!! Let me know when the movie night goes down and I'll bring RAD and some killer snacks!!

hey doug, yeah it happened at work but that place has been so good to me im not tryna get workers comp

what are you saying charles?

rim job?

crossfix:

Workers' Comp shouldn't have anything to do with how a company treats you. If the company is paying its' insurance, which it has to by law if it has employees, then their money has already been going to cover things like this. Have you talked to your boss about his WC insurance? I obviously don't know you or your boss, but it seems to me that a boss who tries to sheist a young employee out of benefits for an on-the-job incident, especially one that didn't involve employee negligence, isn't the kind of boss worth working for....

Anybody? Anybody know Jerome's boss? Am I crazy??

Yer spot on. I worked as a Commercial Insurance Broker for 3 years up in Seattle. You can get workers comp for repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome...

RIP Right Handed Jerome

Long live Lefty Jerome!!!

Holy shit! So sorry to hear this man... Definitely take the workmans comp.

two things, it was my bike and i wasnt on the clock

yes crossfix. i like you and think your one off the best non-judgemental new people on here. see my new thread

also last night i was messed up so i didnt get to post this.
here is the whole gruesome story.
so as you know i was cleaning my chain. the rag got stuck in the cog and pulled my finger through. i screamed "FUCKKKKK" and the manager was there and was like "JEROME, SHHH" cause a customer had just come in. i was like no, im fucked up and he turned around and saw what had happened. at this point im stanbing around looking at my finger which is bleeding everywhere. there was blood all over the ground and all over my hands. he freaked out and was running around. he got a shop rag and gave it to me. i wrapped it around my finger which helped the bleeding. he said that he was calling the ambulance but i said no cause it costs money. i told him to call my house. no one answered, i called my neighbor, still no one answered. he was on the shop phone calling my dad at work and i was on my cell calling my dads cell phone. i still couldnt get a hold of anyone. i finally called this other neighbor and she answered, the only thing was that she was in SE. i told her what happened and she said shed take me. after that we called my other coworker cause his roomate has a car. she wasnt home. i tried my dads cell again and finally got ahold of him. while all of this was happening the customer was still watching all of this. when i got ahold of my dad he didnt believe me. finally my boss convinced him that yes, jerome cut his finger off. he came and brought me to the hospital where they stuck me in a room and got the doctor.
when the doctor came in he said he could sew it back on. it took around 8 half full syringes of stuff to get my finger numb. at this point my mom had shown up and my father was crying in the hallway. i think freebird and any other pdxfixxer that has a kid can feel this.. he couldnt take the fact that part of his son was gone, severed from him. the doc was sewing finger back on and i watched. it was super weird. ill have pics later people.

dude.
yeah
i almost chunked.
cause the same thing ALMOST happened to me
like...i was cleaning my chain, and putting my wheel back on and my finger got stuck like IN the cog....so like it was only this huge fatty cut thing. now i'm even more thankful that was all that happened.
trippy sketch.
get well, man

hope it heals up well man. can you feel anything in the tip? how does that work?

mmm that looks tasty and im eating a peperoni hotpocket right now! LOL

since yer folks probably have insurance just do that. But I'm telling you str8 up if it happened at work whether or not you were on the clock or working on your bike don't matter, the owners insco will cover it. If you wanna keep working there, own up and have the folks cover the bills. It's like if I were to slip and fall at safeway, their Personal injury coverage would extend to that. But i'm sure you want to keep working there and stuff, but I just wanted you to know.
