Stephen was rushed to Capital Health System Hospital in Trenton last night.
He cut his pinky finger with a circular saw. The safety glove he was wearing is what got caught in the saw.
The doctor tells me his finger was cut off, and that it was only holding on by skin. They reattached it. He might not ever use it again. If the bones fuse, he's screwed.
He got this job on MONDAY. He did this because we needed MONEY. All he could do last night in the recovery room was apologize up and down for doing it. This was supposed to be the break he was looking for.
This, my friends, is what the United States Postal Service does to its good employees. They lay you off, jerk you off, and then the big ta-dah is getting your finger cut off at a new job that was off the books, and only two days new.
Fuck you, USPS. Rot in hell.
Im going to go see him now... more later if I can.
