I'm curious how Trump's new executive order will play out. If it holds up, it could have a really chilling effect on the Internet at large. Might even effect the new Buffista site.

Ended up with a double post, so I deleted the second one. Which means I've now triple-posted.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am on hour 3 of orientation and here's what we've done:

- workplace violence
- EAP
- Sexual Harassment

Not even halfway through the slides. I hate everything.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Embarrassing scenario: say you get scratched on your bare leg by a piece of old metal (kind of like thick wire, like you'd make a trellis with). It's definitely a scratch, not a puncture, but it's about 4 inches long and drew blood.

Do you go get a tetanus shot or not?

I am extremely clumsy.

Ann, that's a ferret.

If the metal isn't rusted or anything like that, I wouldn't go to the doctor. But I'm more likely not to see a doctor when I should than the other way around.

Me, too.

Well, it's been outdoors for years, so it's not exactly clean.

That's exactly when you get a tetanus shot if you haven't had one recently. I guess a scratch is more easily cleaned than a puncture so maybe you don't need it but I think it's a good idea.

I personally would not get a tetanus shot for a shallow scratch. Puncture wounds are different and harder to clean and more easily infected.

Clean off the scratch and it should be fine.
