Wounds of the Geek

I got a cut today, no big deal, some blood, a band-aid, it’s ok…

Well, it’s not ok actually, there is a major problem. It’s on the tip of my right index finger. That would be the finger I use for dialing the phone, or clicking a mouse, or worse of all… typing!

Is there a fate worse for a computer nerd type geekoid than a slightly disabled index finger? I mean, I’d rather have gotten a cut on my hand, or arm, or even my ruggedly handsome face, but for a code hacker… the fingers? Anything but the fingers!
