Horribly Disfigured

Okay, I just wanted to put this out there for those of you who don't know.  If someone happens to be running power tools (especially those that cut things), it is not a good idea to scream their name to get their attention.  Generally, it is way better to wait until they are finished.  This rule does not apply if their is some kind of emergency.  Said emergency had better be damn important; important enough to justify the power tool operator being horribly disfigured. 

Thankfully nothing happened to me, but someone who shall remain anonymous scared the wee out of me last night while I was cutting some steel with die grinder.  Nothing says "Hey Josh, come look at this" like 10,000 RPM of spinning cutoff wheel being loose in my hands.  Also, their reason for needing me was not life threatening and could have waited the 30 seconds it would have taken me to finish.  This concludes my power tool safety lesson for the day, you will now be returned to your scheduled programming.
