Ugh. Today I injured myself three times at work. Twice working with mannequins. It's a bad day when a fake lady is beating up on you.
First, I burned my hand on the clothes steamer. That thing is a bitch to work with.
Then I pinched the tip of a finger in a mannequin joint. The limbs are attached to the torso via very powerful magnets. Usually they take some finagling to lock in place, but this one just snapped right in. And on my finger. I have a wicked blood blister.
These injuries pale in comparison to what happened next. We have a dolly that converts into a hand truck. Kinda look likes this:
See those big pins in the lower right hand corner? While in dolly mode, those pins keep the handle from flying out and hitting you in the mouth. Our dolly, of course, is sans pins. I now have a fat lip and a bruised tooth.
I fixed it, though. With heavy duty jumbo paperclips. That mofo is never coming out again.
Life as a shop girl is hard.
