Oh trades school, you expose me to such variety.

All the other times in my life put together would not sum up to the number of warnings I've heard in the last two months which include such words or phrases as:

- "asphyxiate"
- "electrocute"
- "crushed"
- "burst"
- "...[number] tonnes... ...your foot/hand"
- "explosive"
- "injury... ...can't... ...anymore"
- "acid"
- "...to the inside of your lungs"
- "hearing loss"
- "...and once you've absorbed it, your body can't get rid of it"
- "criminally liable"
- "...through your body like a knife through butter."
- "scalp torn off..."
- "brighter than the sun... ...blindness"
- "amputate"
- "lost [insert number] fingers."
- "pressurized... ...dirty... ...puncture... ...blood poisoning"
- "collapsed"
- "face/eyes"
- "could put your finger in the hole that went throuh his torso"


I hear office work is bad for you too though.

I had nebulous aspirations of learning how to weld one day. Knowing me, maybe I should take up something safer, like knitting.

It's fun though. You might like the plasma cutter, it's neat, safe, and heats steel to 18000 degrees.
