Owwwwwww

I knew that work was not making my hands very beautiful, but I realised there is an advantage to all the callousing. Today I was slicing up vegetables when the knife slipped and sssschiikt sliced into the side of my left index finger. The funny thing was I didn't bleed or anything, as it had merely shaved off a layer of the tough protective skin I have been painstakingly growing.
This is going to make me sound even more foulsome isn't it?

Mine may be a case for gloves.
