Today, I burned my hand under the hot water for tea, it was bound to happen, I know, and I'm lucky it was only first degree and minor second degree burns on my left hand, I'm counting my blessings, believe me.
What I need to talk about was what I heard had happened after.
So I'm in the back doubled over in pain because I've never experienced this level of ouch before. (I've never broken a bone or dislocated my shoulder or anything like that, ever.) Timi, being a good best friend who was supposed to hang out with me on my break, runs up to the counter and asks my coworker, "Hey, is she alright?"
My coworker responds;
"Yeah, Kim's alright, she usually just milks stuff like this for the attention."

Oh yeah you're just doing your job over there picking your nose while I'm in the back writhing in pain because I've never fucking broken a bone or dislocated a joint before and I have very little scars and therefore have a low tolerance to pain and so this is the worst pain I've ever experienced because I just BURNED MYSELF WITH 200 DEGREE BOILING WATER THREE GODDAMNED TIMES
Buuuuut, you know, no big fucking deal or nothin'.
