I burned by arm pretty bad today at work.I was deep frying the chips, and after I put a fresh batch in a bin, I tried to put the wire basket back on the hook to fry some more. My grip slipped for just a second, and the basket swung back and hit me on the arm. A hot-oil-dipped metal basket whacked me just above my elbow. >.<

What kinda surprised me, though, was that I didn't even flinch when the basket burned me. I was all "Oops. Scalding hot metal to the arm. Another day at the office, I guess." I knew I could tolerate a bit more pain than average, but I didn't know I could shrug off hot oil. So long as I don't, you know, dip my hand in it or something.

I have a pretty mean-looking blister on my arm right now, but it it looks like it'll heal alright. So long as it doesn't get infected or anything, I should be good.
