Ouch

I'm the biggest clutz ever. I've walked into glass storm doors, bumped into corner of desks, hit my head, and tripped over my own two feet more times than I care to count

In the past 5 days I have....
....bruised my arm (cause unknown)
....bruised my leg (from the corner of the car door when I closed it on myself)
....cut my finger (from chopping an onion)
....and the
pièce de résistance... punctured my heel with a staple....

I was scanning a document at the copier, turned to walk away, and felt this sharp pain in my heel. So I bend over, look at my foot, and find a damn staple. Let me point out that I was NOT running around the office barefoot. I was wearing a pair of low-heeled mules. I have no idea how a freakin' staple found its way from the floor (where I assume it was hiding) into my heel, but it hurt like hell! And of course, I couldn't have been alone with my pain. I was in the copy room so naturally I had an audience. My usual reaction to pain is to curse, but with co-workers present, I had to bite my tongue.

I spent the rest of the morning (because this incident had to happen early in my day) Googling staple injuries and tetanus. Thankfully, there's no sign of infection so I'm going to wuss out on getting a tetanus shot. Let's see what kind of injuries I'll sustain next week.
