all that 'I love my job' stuff?

Yeah, well, not when I almost burn my hand off.

Lesson of today, children? : Even if it's a nice day and you feel summery, there's no excuse for not wearing your gauntlets. Having an inch long strand of molten mig wire land in your hand turns your skin orange, then blisters and goes red and nasty and hurts like hell and then your hand is all crispy and smells like cooking.

Here endeth the lesson.

I'm now back to wearing gauntlets...>.
