I don't think this qualifies for Workman's Comp....

Because I promised I would put the story to paper, as it were...

Today was rather hectic. While I have been trying (with a small measure of success) to keep at least enough of my desk cleared to do paperwork, there was a small pile of irregular shaped objects in my area, and I started throwing papers on top of them.

Now, at about 4PM, I was in a rush to get some paperwork done, so I was trying to do it without cleaning up too much. I had to staple some papers, so I reached over and grabbed my desk stapler.

This caused a small avalanche. I rolled my chair close to the desk and stopped it from hitting the floor. To give a bit of extra coverage, I flared my elbows out and brought the stapler (in my left hand) and the papers in my right hand close together against my chest.

Hmmm. My two hands were close enough to staple my paperwork. I could then drop my stapler, and use my hands to stop the flow of paper. Perfect.

ka-CHUNK!

YEEEEEEEEEOW!!!

It seemed that the staper was a bit closer to my chest than I thought.

So, if you're ever curious, this is what you have to do if you ever want to accidentally give yourself a purple nurple.
