Re: FIRST Injuries

I learned not to reach across the table while someone else is holding a soldering iron. Burned between my fingers.

And heh, a story about another team member, our 2007 Head of Software/Electronics was soldering, and a mechie was next to her.

Mechie: "Wow, I could never solder that stuff together so fast..."
Head: "Well, that's why I'm Head of---OUCH!"

Excellent timing.

Oh, and now that I remember...our school, back in 07, used sports as a theme for their Back-to-School Dance. So obviously, 5-6 of us went in our TKO blue, resistor earrings, etc. I decided, idiotically enough, on a "zip tie ring". Had to bite the darn thing off when I realized my finger was a few shades too dark.
