super glue me

I wanted to rest a bit before I look into some slides so I decided to go through my clothes and take out those that I wanted to discard but the task proved to be very tedious, so I decided to look into my shoes instead. I found a brown flat peep toe sling back that I got last year but almost never wore. Upon inspection, I found that the sole was starting to fall off the shoe. Geez! Those were not exactly the cheapest. I decided to mitigate the situation with super glue. I know that rugby glue should should be used for shoes, but where the hell would I get rugby glue? Besides, I remember what that stuff did to the street children at McDonald's Taft! (omg! That is some story! I'll write another entry for it)

So I played elf, as in the elves and the shoemaker and brought the shoes back to life. I was almost clapping my hands when I realized that the super glue tube is stuck to my right pointing finger.

I spent twenty minutes under the tap before I managed to get the tube off and another ten trying to remove a generous layer without ripping my skin off.

Good news: I didn't rip my skin

Bad news: I didn't get the glue out

Although I can now do all the things I could with my pointing finger before the incident, I am very much concerned with how I could get into the office, as the finger print identification system scans and verifies (quite conveniently!) that of the employee's right pointing finger.
