attempted murder

This thing tried to kill me today! I was taking it off the breadboard and 5 of the 14 pins of this bloody IC punctured my fingernails and the skin beneath! I was literally in shock for a few minutes...screaming more at the gruesome nature of what just happened rather than in pain. *Sigh* There was a lot of blood...damn! Look at that thing with its teeth will ya?

I have stapled myself quite a few times but this was SO much worse.

Anyway, I’m so tired I can’t even type…spent 10 hours at the lab today…on a freaking Saturday…just finished with (a rather early) dinner…my first meal of the day today. Gotta go…
