Only thing worse than an acid burn is a boiling acid burn

[HEIRESS]

I heal real good like though, so Ill get over it

I love how we dont even have any burn ointment in this whole fukkin building
LOVE IT

[CiaoBellaXO]

the pain is the weakness leaving the body

[paul jones]

I got some def paper cuts off some cardboard bozes I was rippin up last week (y)

[CiaoBellaXO]

reminds me of that scene in Fight Club

[ericlee]

burns? You haven't felt pain yet till you take a piss outside while smoking and the cig falls on the "tip"

[HEIRESS]

serioiusly though, it dunt hurt that much. The concentrated acid kinda kills off any sensory endings in the area so its not like a heat burn agony in any way
Im all poking the blistery pustules and I feel nuttin!

[Qdrop]

so, does Canada have any kind of OSHA regulations or anything....

what aren't you required to wear PPE?

shit like this wouldn't fly in my company....shit, not in the US.

it's like you're working in a third world nation or something.

[HEIRESS]

ghetto lab, ghetto regulations

people would rather work than not work around here so noone goes cry babying to the worker's comp board/WHMIS people unless shit goes down, plus minumum wage isnt 3.50/hr up here in the great white north so people are willing to put up with a little bit more in exchange for godo pay

Its more my fault that I was wearing shorts in the lab but Id rather chance getting an acid burn on my leg than sweat like a pig 50 hours a week all summer long in my non airconditioned environment

[Lindsey_1535]

Didn't you learn anything in shops class?!?! GEZZZZHHH

where the fuck is your gov't? where are the whistle blowers?

are people just going wait until someone spills it on thier face or throat?

what about long term effects?

jesus, Heiress....fuck the cash and the job....look at the big picture!

Its more my fault that I was wearing shorts in the labpartly....but you shouldn't be allowed to. you should be required to wear PPE with such chemicals....with MSDS reports available to all employees.

but Id rather chance getting an acid burn on my leg than sweat like a pig 50 hours a week all summer long in my non airconditioned environment it should be air conditioned....and ventilated.
jesus....where do you work?

a company like this in the states would get shut down within the hour if OSHA auditors came through.
and the managers/owners would be literally escorted out in handcuffs, fined up the ass, and be looking at long jail terms.

unbelievable.

[HEIRESS]

Ive only gotten acid on my face once, and it barely scarred because it was right by my lip
I also never cry baby because I work with almost all men and I dont want to seem like a pussy even though when I do get hurt they treat me like a princess

but fuck the external acid woes, Im more worried about the inability of the antioxidants I take to overcome the more harmful dna damage im racking up working in this shithole

but they keep giving me raises to keep me here, it sucks but I need the cash
like really need the cash

GAH

[ToucanSpam]

Your babies will have three arms, Heiress.

[Qdrop]

but they keep giving me raises to keep me here, it sucks but I need the cash
like really need the cash

GAH
the only reason they can give thier employees all this extra cash is because they ain't spending shit on protecting thier employees.




hope it works out for you.

[SobaViolence]

you sound like a socialist, q...

my ex had caustic (sp?) acid drip on his back while he was brewing (he was a brewer at one point) and it just dripped wet on his tshirt... later that night, after he got home and took off his shirt, he saw the damage... nothing at all was wrong with the shirt, but several layers of skin about the size of a pingpong ball were eaten away and he still has a gnarly scar from it... i hope yours isn't permanent damage, heiress...

[Qdrop]

you sound like a socialist, q...

hey, people matter.

companies don't give a shit about the people unless they are made to...
most of the time.

they'll take profit over safety all the time....

sad but true.

poor canadians.

[RobMoney]

PPE, MSDS sheets.....Q, I take it your work involves dealing with hazardous materials?

[HEIRESS]

acid washing of the ankles is the new preventative cankles therapy!

oh geez, this shit happens in the states too
dunt even DUNT EVEN
I am just not lucky enough to have gotten one of the many numerous sweet ass natural industry science related jobs available in BC because I wasnt born into the right family and I dont know the right people

I have friends who basically do what I do and they get paid 35 bucks an hour with crazy benefits, and they get days off just for mere headaches that resulted from inhalation of minor fumes

there are shitholes like the one I work at in all areas of production all through the land above and below the 49th parallel
this is why american kids dont have a "lets visit the local slaughter house field trip day!"

[CiaoBellaXO]

I think you should post a pic of the flesh falling off your ankle. (y) So we all can believe you.

[HEIRESS]

Im at work so you'll have to take my word on this shit for atleast a couple more hours cupcake
can you sit tight?

and they are blisters, not knife wounds

[RobMoney]

Why aren't you considering getting to heel out of work and going to the hospital and getting some proper medical attention?

[HEIRESS]

ahahahaha thats funny

4 hour ER wait for mostly ugly looking and not ugly feeling blisters NOTHANX
im fine really, im eating chocolate covered almonds and all is good

see health care in Canada is free, but you gotta wait a looooooong ass time to get it

[ET]

We have those here. It's like the hospitals up in Canada are like the free sit-in clinics here. Maybe with better doctors. Ok, most likely with better doctors.
