Jesus, dude.....permanent nerve damage? Lasting effects besides the obvious?I was layimg up a hip on a shake roof, I knew the saw had a sticky trigger and had the cowle pinned back, I got the eve cut in and turned around to start my way up. pushed old wood out of the way and a piece hit the trigger, trigger stayed on, saw ran over my ankle and chased itself off the roof. i looked down and first thing through my mind was no camping trip this summer.
when you selected ''career", did you look for the job that was single-handedly the hardest on your back and knees on purpose?and after 26 years I was done, this was an excuse.
yea I know about them, they can be annoying, but they have good purpose. Job hazards are a little ridiculous nowadays looking back at what people sacrificed for a few bucks an hour. Lots of men and women who live everyday in pain because employers used to be able to do what they want. Not as strict as I think it should be yet, but safety should be a much bigger priority now than it really is......better than before still, but to you it's probably a blessing by comparison. The people who built the world see things today think we are spoiled, but we have simply wisened up and value life more, IMOI did not, needed work my friend, out of the military. i needed a job. keep in mind it was a opportunity to learn a trade. you just had to be able to put up with the crap, no OWSHA back then.
no filling hostile work environment law suits. you took the ****, you made them wrong. you made your respect. and then you learned. I am not sure to ex-planer that to you, not like now days.
