I'm Suffering From Freezer Burn
Yesterday, I was in the freezer at work for a good twenty minutes. According to the theomometer on the door, it was five degrees below in there. Now all of my fingertips are a dark purple and I've lost all sensation in them. Fuck.
Also, if you still can't feel them, go get an attorney. File a lawsuit against your employer. (Remember to take a picture the next time something like this happens.) There are people who take advantage of these opportunities ("COFFEE BURNED ME!") and people who get taken advantage of ("WE DON'T NEED TO FIX THE NOVA!").
My grandmother slipped on watery surface in the isle at the grocery store and injured herself. Goes back to how old people are more frail. There was no sign about slippery surfaces/wet ground/piso mojado. Because she was in pain, she went to the doctor and she sued. Jury gave her 75k. The company was willing to settle out of court for 20k (I think). Judge reduced it to 40k.
Point is, I don't know severity of your problem. If it's nothing--then nevermind. If you are being taken advantage of and no one is warning you/looking out for you, then you need to demonstrate why profiting at your expense/health can be financially unhealthy for the company.
To me, that was something I liked about the litigious society--not people suing over "we fucked on the railroad tracks and lost our arms" but "I was screwed over by a company that was looking out for itself and cut corners." CEO profit is up, lower-level job salaries haven't changed, and some have been moved overseas (to compensate for CEO pay). Sorry, this is mostly a rant. I apologize. Just explore your options if you feel fucked.

and why would i whip it out at the temperate? that's what the meat locker is for anyway. whipping out your meat.
but, i'm my fingers are starting to get back to normal. it's just like any other burn. but believe me, if it was serious, i'm suing. because i can't afford going to the hospital and i know my work wouldn't give two shits about firing me if i missed worked over something.
