The case of the finger eating case (not for the feint of heart)

So, this morning I was attempting to open an external hard drive case (it's something you use to carry your computer hard drive outside of your computer) because I could replace the hard drive. It's a very nice enclosure, very solid, made of brushed aluminum, probably very expensive.

Anyway, it's so solidly built that the internal tray (which holds the hard drive inside the enclosure) got stuck when I was trying to pull it out from inside the case. Trying to unstuck it, I pushed the tray back into the enclosure, only to get the side of my middle finger caught between two very sharp pieces of metal (the tray and the case). Did I mention that the aluminum enclosure and the tray's edge have very sharp edges? Here's the moral of the story: Do not get your finger (or part of it) stuck between two sharp pieces of metal, because it'll hurt. A lot. Oh, yeah, and it'll bleed too.

In other news, it sounds like CJ has an ear ache. That probably explains why he had such a hard time falling sleep last night. Ginger is taking care of him, though, so I'm sure that he'll be ok.
