Dirty Hands

Last week, I was working and we were staining and resealing the cement flooring of a swimming pool room. My job was to do the inside rim above the swimming pool without getting any chemicals inside the pool. So I used my hand to catch the drippings of the urethane. Pretty soon my hands were covered and my hands were sticking to everything I touched. It was like putting superglue all over your hands. I spread my fingers as far apart from each other as I could so they wouldn't stick to each other. And the hand that was holding the roller brush got stuck to the roller brush. It was awful to pry it off. After a while the urethane dried and it was permanently stuck to my skin. I came home and used fingernail polish remover, fast orange, gas, anything I could think of. Five days later it's just about off only because I've been picking at it relentlessly.

Moral of the story: Hands are not made for everything.
