Ok y'all let me give some advise on starting a job in lawn care, pack a knife! On Monday, I started working for a landscape company doing lawn maintenance. The day before I was thinking that I needed to take my knife with me. The next morning I totally forgot. We got to the site, and I started weed whipping. after about an hour, I needed to replace the line, but I had a conundrum, There was no knife around to cut it with. I found an edger blade and tried hacking the line in 2. After a couple of swings, I missed the line. I did however connect with a different solid object..my thumb. I looked out and saw one of the other guys, so I went up to him and told him I needed help. He helped me get it cleaned up and bandaged, then one of the ladies from the office "just happened" to pull up. She took me to urgent care, where I got 4 stitches and discovered I also fractured the tip of the bone off, just a tiny piece. Now I am taking the rest of the week off to help it heal up some before going back.
And that's how not to do the first day at a new job.
I do have a picture of it after the stitches and fairly cleaned up. If you want to see it, I can PM it. I don't really want to post it even with spoilers, cause I know there's some people that are really squeamish about these things.
Also, it was really cool to see the Lord work in the situation, because everyone basically grabs their mower or weed whip and goes off to their area. So it was definitely thanks to the Lord that the guy showed up right after it happened. Also, the lady from the office wasn't responding to a call. She was checking up on us, trying to resolve some sort of dispute. So the Lord was definitely working!
