So in order to make our new house more enery efficient, I stopped at Home Depot yesterday to buy some of that ever-commom expanding spray insulation foam to put in the cracks around our windows. I,the self-proclaimed do-it-yourself-er, immediately upon arriving home, quickly scan the directions, and begin spraying the shit in every available gap that I see. The one part of the instructions that did stand out to me is the " foam cures in 2 hours, may be removed before this time with acetone" part. So I figure, what the hell. It won't take me that long. ....Twenty minutes later....house is done...I begin to wash hands.....uh oh. Ok....break out acetone....uh oh. Panic sets in. I begin scrubbing with scalding hot water and .....nothing.
For those of you that know me I am a pretty calm person, nothing really phases me at allllll....like ever. My feet could be on fire and I would casually walk over to find a way to put them out. However, I believe last night I had my first real panic attack. I began soaking my hands in acetone, which burnt like hell, and still no improvement. My hands were coated, like little foam gloves, no skin showing at all. Miss T, finally realizing that I am indeed stressed about the situation tries to help by reading the directions thouroughly to me. They say "Warning, read directions carefully a few times. Wear protective gloves, product can only be removed mechanically." Uh.....what....what does that even mean? Panic overload begins. I make her go onto the website. FAQ #1 Q. How do i get insulation foam off of my skin? A. You don't. Again ....what???
Needless to say , I was up until 2:00 am trying to pick this shit off of my skin with little to no success. There are portions of my hands that I am sure there is actual skin removed (ouch). My hands are still 70% covered and I look like a burn victim. Lesson learned. I am not using any product ever again without completey reading the entirety of the directions. The situation is funny (my miss T and Michael B. have started referring to me a frankenhands) and I would probably laugh my ass off if it happened to someone else, but I am in no laughing mood right now. My hands hurt and feel like sandpaper. I'll admit it, I am the utimate failure. Negative 10000 points to me.

So I am a bit nervous about the new job I took on for the weekends. It is a four week project doing exactly what I did for Alcoa, in fact, they are one of the investors for the project. I went in for my physical and they did the standard respirator test, but then.......they also did a chest x-ray....eh? I am guessing to show what my lungs look like before they pump me full of carcinogins..well lets just hope not. I am then informed by the temp agency that I have to sign a waiver when I go in tomorrow because the experiment is broadcast live via webcam to all of the investors. This includes a company in South Korea, Germany, Kansas, and Alcoa in New Kensington.
..(reminder to self...don't pick nose, don't scratch butt). I am assured they don't care about the workers and it is not to check up on us, but I have my doubts. This is a 7:00pm-7:00am shift...humans have strange behaviours at those hours. I know I do. I also had to have a small counseling session on my views on confined spaces...uh...yeah ....I lied. I am very claustrophobic....which means I am probably gonna die. God, what I'll do for a quick buck..geeze
Well, at least its only temporary, and it makes for interesting conversation on interviews..haha.

you are yellow
#FFFF00 |
Your dominant hues are red and green, so you're definately not afraid to get in and stir things up. You have no time for most people's concerns, you'd rather analyze with your head than be held back by some random "gut feeling".
Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right.
Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

 | You scored as Buddhism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already.
In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.

Well, I finally, FINALLY, find a cheap ass box spring for me and T's bed (thank got for craigslist). I go to pick it up with my friend, strap it to the roof of my truck, and figure since its just lightly sprinkling, I'll just haul ass home and not even bother with a tarp. Just as we are pulling away......terrential downpour. So there we are on the side of the road, soaked, and trying to tarp the damn thing. I don't know why we even bothered..the damage was already done. I'm sure it will dry out and be just fine. It may have needed a bath anyway. Well whatever.
