Listen to good advice, four-finger

I’m post­ing this with one hand.

I just cut straight through the nail and fin­ger on the tip of my left index fin­ger. And as if that wasn’t enough, Lars Pind had just warned me. So on top of being slightly hand­i­capped and in mod­er­ate pain, I get to feel stu­pid. Perfect.

But being a crea-techie, I did it my own way (com­pare with Lars):

• Didn’t even enter the dexterity/accuracy dis­cus­sion but went straight for the cut­ting, start­ing with an avo­cado, los­ing the skin on the same fin­ger later to be short­ened, think­ing “hey, that was lucky — and I shouldn’t be using a knife as I’m really tired”.
• Com­bined light and insanely sharp as for the choice of knife.
• Didn’t think about pro­gram­ming, but how I actu­ally liked the knife (oh, the irony)
• Didn’t try to save any­thing, just cut some chili — but I did throw away the bit of fin­ger once cut.

Point of the story, you ask? Lis­ten to good kitchen uten­sil han­dling advice — or don’t hang out with the jinxed programmer.
