At Networking Dynamics, in La Crescenta, CA about 1992 -- also a software company, a gal who was a dirty blonde came to work with a bandage about an inch or more above her left eye.

(For those filthy minded guys ... dirty blonde does not mean a loose one but she was quite good looking)

A girlfriend of hers asked her what happened.

Well she ignored the safety rule written and that comes with Dirt Devils to tie up long hair prior to use.

She ignored this because it was a quick job she needed to do, to clean off a bench.

Inevitably, it caught her hair and zipped up toward her forehead, striking her above the left eye with enough depth to nearly cause a need for stitches.

She should be writing this really ... when she told it we were all in stitches.

This is the same company where one of our Execs earned the nickname "Snake" -- with a little help from yours truly, for being bit in the ass.

One software company ... 2 at risk survivors.

Vacuuming up your own hair sounds quite painful. Thanks, Mike!
