I'm pretty good about grabbing a cloth or potholder. I guess the sensation of wearing a glove short-circuited logic.
Luckily, the only damage was to the glove.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

Oh wow! I'm sure you are both eager to get him away from shift work, those hours suck.
I would say 'you have no idea'; however, that's not totally true. It will be amazing if it all comes together. I almost can't imagine a life without rotating 12 hour shifts. He would be off on most holidays and weekends, too.
It would almost be like 'normal people'!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
On the down side, G is away on business again. On the up side, I have seen both of the kittens out and about.(Luna decided to stop hiding in the space between the living room floor and the basement ceiling for the moment. Still looks freaked out.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've taking pans out of the oven, put them down. and then less than a minute later tried to pick them up with my bare hands.
Oh, I've done that one. See also: lifted a hot pan off the stove with both hands, potholder only on the hand lifting the long handle.
Luckily, the only damage was to the glove.
Whew!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Fingerprinting is redone every 5 years.
Why can't they just keep them on file and check the databases again? Surely your fingerprints don't change? Or is that what you mean and I am obtuse?
I've done both the grab with the not insulated glove and touch the pan right after I've taken the glove off. And burnt my arm because my hand was protected so I didn't worry about the rest of me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cookie sheets. For some reason my brain does not recognise them as hot things. I think it's because I will reach in and touch a cookie without pulling out the shelf, whereas if I'm going in for a cake or a pie I need to slide the rack out.
And apparently I only use my oven for baking, now that I think about it.

JOIN US! Actually, I had to because it was overrunning my LJ.
We totally should make Bad Mommy Scout Badges though!

I feel your pain with the messed up shifts. Kristin and I just spend most of the year on mirror image schedules, so even when I'm in town we can go days and days and not even see each other. Lately I've also been traveling a lot more, which is a whole different level of pain in the rear.

Fingerprints don't change...at least I didn't think they did!
We are re-fingerprinted every 5 years AND they keep our fingerprints on file. Someone said they run our prints through the system every 6-12 months. I don't know what they thing they are going to find.
If we go to a different district, the whole fingerprinting, background checking, drug testing thing starts again.
