I was sitting at home, minding my own business, when I get this unexpected phone call. Chuck was on the line, and I found that odd because he was supposed to be at work. He acted like everything was normal until he spilled the information about his hand almost being burned off. He has second degree burns, hence, he is not writing this. The poor thing let his hand fall in the 400 degree grease at Wendys. So, needless to say, he will not be typing for a while.

Was this my Wendy's? I believe it was.
Please elaborate on the story behind it, I have forgotten.

Yes it was. The story was something like this. I was working drive-thru at about 8:00 friday night. Joe was the manager.
It was my job to clean the chicken cooker, so I was draining it. While the grease was lowering I would use it to scrape the sides of the cooker. The drive-thru rang, I was startled and dropped the spatula I was scraping with.
Four-hundred degree grease splashed all over my hand, including in between my fingers.
I took the order and continued to work for about 20 minutes, but I was on the verge of passing out. I had been hyperventalating to keep the pain at bay and was quite woozy.
I ended up going home to Sparta and my mom took me to the ER. I got lortab, silvadene, and a giant cotton swab for a hand.
I was out of work for a week. Jaimie was not thrilled.

Oh yeah, and if you go to my blogger profile, or misc photos section you can see a picture of me pointing at my hand. It is of my second degree burns.

Damn, I hated draining that damn pressure cooker. Foretunately I only had to maybe 4 or 5 times, and I don't think I ever bothered to scrap it clean.
And why the fuck was the drive-thru cashier cleaning the pressure cooker in the first damn place, much less at 8:00pm on a Friday night? That's the job you tell the 'tard you assigned to "Fries" earlier in the evening! You tell them they can't go home until they've finished "Post-rush 1 & 3", which involves taking out all the trash, mopping the floors, restocking the walk-in cooler. Also Friday was not supposed to be a "drain the pressure fryer" night, it was Sunday and Thursday nights as I recall.
Joe must have still been mad about the "amateur gay porn" joke we made that one night, he never forgave me for that (and some other things I done to humiliate him).

It was my standard "get everything done" routine. I had it down pretty good. I remember my hands were all prunish when it happened because I had just finished a bunch of dishes. Wonder if that made it worse?
