I was like &#8216;shoot!&#8217; I didn&#8217;t want that stuff to get on my clothes.. that would look bad.\u00a0 So I stuck my finger in my mouth.\u00a0 A few seconds later I felt my mouth full with blood.\u00a0 I spit it out and sure enough\u00a0a mouth full\u00a0of blood came out.\u00a0 Yucky tasting.\u00a0 I started shaking my finger to make it clean before I walked inside the hotel (where it was held).\u00a0 The blood splattered on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n<p>Walking inside I looked around to see where the restroom was.\u00a0 I couldn&#8217;t see it.\u00a0 I looked for hotel people.\u00a0 About 5 people were checking out but nobody was at the counter.\u00a0 I walked to an area where they were serving breakfast and seating people.\u00a0 I started to feel sick.\u00a0 I told the lady.. &#8220;hi&#8230; i&#8217;m here for the interviews&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;okay.. what interviews?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;the Liberty Mutual ones, but I just smashed my finger and I need to clean it off&#8230; where is your restroom?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;down the hall and to the left.. please come back when you are done so we can file a report&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I took about 5 steps and made it into a hallway.\u00a0 At this time I was feeling numb all over.\u00a0 The kind of feeling you get when you hit your funny bone in just the right way.\u00a0 It started to get darker.. and then&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>About 20 minutes later I wake up in a cold sweat.\u00a0 Eyes closed.\u00a0 Whispering to myself.. Oh my God.. I&#8217;ve got to get up.\u00a0 Then I remembered, I&#8217;m in a hotel lobby.. I&#8217;ve gotta get up now!\u00a0 But I had no energy to do so.\u00a0 I opened my eyes to see about 7 people standing over me with walkie talkies.<\/p>\n<p>They helped me to a chair and for the next 10 or 15 minutes\u00a0a medical crew from the hotel\u00a0bandaged me up.. telling me I might need stitches.\u00a0 I woke up on my back.. so I figure I just fell back.\u00a0 They kept putting stuff on my face (which I didn&#8217;t understand).\u00a0 I figured that my finger reached to my face and put some blood on it.\u00a0 They probably just thought it was a cut.<\/p>\n<p>They told me that my face was cut, my arm and wrist.\u00a0 My knee is bruised from this event.\u00a0 They told me to go into the restroom to look.\u00a0 I did and .. I was quite surprised when I saw my face.<\/p>\n<p>I told them I needed to go do the interview now and they let me go.\u00a0 I walked into the interview place and they were like &#8220;woah what happened to you?\u00a0 do you want to come back another day?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8220;No, it took me about an hour to get\u00a0here, and I smashed my finger and\u00a0I blacked out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now in the interview I&#8217;ve explained this a few times to a few different people.\u00a0 One of the interviewers says &#8220;you would be great for the position that we had posted&#8221;\u00a0 I&#8217;m thinking.. great!\u00a0 Right?\u00a0 right.\u00a0 She continued, &#8220;but right now we have no positions available for that, because they&#8217;ve been filled.\u00a0 But if a background check doesn&#8217;t work out, you&#8217;ll have a shot!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>So I got home, and here is what I saw.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/photo.xanga.com\/jshox\/a52a4111492082\/photo.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width:0;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/xa5.xanga.com\/2a4d22eb23030111492082\/z79422927.jpg?w=400\" alt=\"100_0158\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I have no memory of what happened.\u00a0 All I know\u00a0is what I\u00a0typed.\u00a0 I\u00a0really wish I had video to see what happened.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later (today), it has been healing pretty well (kept it bandaged up til now).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/photo.xanga.com\/jshox\/4d47b111492103\/photo.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width:0;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x4d.xanga.com\/47b83a4179378111492103\/z79422942.jpg?w=400\" alt=\"100_0165\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Anyway.. thats the news kids.<\/p>\n<p>just Pray.<\/p>\n<p>Ciao!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Time for an update.
