shocking
last night i shocked the crap out of myself.
the buzzer on my apartment door wasn't working correctly, so i climbed up onto my kitchen counter, unscrewed the wall cover and started poking around. the problem was a loose wire.
simple enough. all i had to do was reinsert the wire and then screw the holding clamp back down onto it. the head of my screwdriver was too big though, so i grabbed a kitchen knife and set to work.
everything was going perfectly until i shocked the crap out of myself.
i was painfully balanced on the counter with my old-man knees when the 220 volts of electricity surged through me, and then painfully hit the floor with my ass, at which time i painfully hit my head against the wall, and then twitched a little bit as the feeling gradually returned to the right side of my body and chest. that feeling, in case you wonder, happened to also consist mostly of pain.
so yeah. it was what i might describe as a painful experience for which i won't immediately be circling back through the turnstiles to stand in line for again.
the first thing that came out of my mouth though was nervous laughter (shortly followed by a *little* cursing).
my ass-bone still hurts and i have a lump on the back of my head. on the bright side, my buzzer works (so when the delivery guy from Lindo Jardin is at my door, I'll know), AND hopefully the electricity shorted out any electronic microchips that the f'ing gov'ment might have inserted into my body.
all in all, it was a success.
