i know exactly what you mean, and you certainly aren't on your own, nor are you mad (well, either you're not mad or we are all mad in which case no-one will notice). i am an active member of St John Ambulance, and I have had duty after duty after duty of cut fingers, or nothing at all; its the same in my workplace, nothing but paper cuts and "p.e.'itus"! It's not that I resent all the paperwork and plasters required for a cut finger/grazed knee (although on your 6th one of the day and you havnt had your lunch yet (with the bell about to go for next lesson)...) its that i want something, well, more 'interesting', after all thats why i'm there. In any job, there is nothing more annoying than being prevented from doing your job by someone else, and after all, people being fit and healthy and accident free is simply them preventing you from doing your job! (not that i would/could wish pain or anguish on anyone) dont you worry, your call will come (and then you will be wishing for a quiet night!) oooo, did you know???... about 6 years ago, a pair of television documentry makers spent 2 weeks with the New York Fire Service. they were nearing the end of their filming time and were concerned as they had had nothing to do for the whole time they had been there. nothing. then on one of thier last days, the phone rang . . . (that day was 11th September)
