Today I fucked up one of the electricity experiments we do in one of the shows at work. Resulting in up to 10.000 volts shooting through my left index finger. There's now an entry wound between my knuckle and first joint, and an exit wound between my first and second joint. Before I managed to turn the thingy that gave me the jolt of, flames stood out of the side of it. Lesson: turn off before disassembling equipment that demonstrates lightning.

At first I was like "ten-point-zero-zero-zero volts, that is not so bad but it is unusually precise for an accident".

Get yourself checked out by a doctor ASAP. I remember the safety briefing we had when I had my Physics degree. Basically, if you've had high voltage go through you, it may do a lot of damage internally that you don't feel and are not aware of.

Fuck. Just....fuck.
Edit: One of the things that made me happy today though was that a friend who is doing interviews for the place I will be interviewing Thursday had this lovely dialogue. (She works for the computer labs, etc.)
Q: "So, what type of platform do you use?"
A: "Microsoft Word."
Q: "...No, what type of operating system are you running?"
A: "..." *crickets chirp*
This makes me very confident about my interview, considering I know I run Snow Leopard, know how to use Windows XP, and plan installing Windows 7 on my laptop at some point, too. So yeah. I wasn't that worried about it to begin with, but now I'm really not worried.

I really hate the fact that my almost 22 year old brother can still make me cry at the age of 23 by screaming at me about how he wants me to shut up and I'm a fucking idiot and I should just never talk again because nothing I say is worth listening to and he's watching the fucking TV, and I should not bother him, or else. And that he's bound to get his way in what we were discussing (prior to the screaming) just because he acts that way and there's nothing we can do, not because he's right, when he calls my parents tomorrow to tell them that I'm "being a nazi communist and will make him starve" just because I won't pay him one third of the "food and emergencies"-money up front when he eats stuff at home that others have purchased as well and we were told to eat together and not waste money.
I also really hate that this has been the worst summer I can remember with just 6 days with a maximum temperature of more than 20 degrees (and not a single one over 23,6 – the average temperature was supposedly 8 something in June and 13 something in July), and I'm just really sick and tired of everything and having a pretty damn shitty night. And having no one to talk to about it, so sorry for whining to you guys.
Edit: Not the brother I am going to be living with in the fall, obviously. I cannot even remember the last time we fought.
