I’m considered to be clumsy by just about everyone. One day we received word that a local pizza shop was sending over free pizza for lunch. When they arrived at the radio station, me and a few other on air staff went downstairs to greet them and properly thank them.
They brought a lot more pizza than we all had expected. I was on the air so I had to cut the chatter to a minimum. I grabbed an entire pie and took it to the studio. I was not going to eat the whole thing, I just did not have time to gather it in slices and intended on leaving the leftovers in the studio for anyone who wanted it.
I walked into the studio and tripped over a cord that was on the ground. The pizza flew, landing all over the board, and the touch screen computer. As I was falling my face caught the edge of the studio desk that the controls rest on. My nose had opened up in a bloody mess and was gushing blood. I admit, I laid out a huge scream. It hurt so bad.
The thing was, just about everyone who had a office near the studio was downstairs and no one heard me scream. I sat there for about 5 minutes and finally the engineer had happened to walk in.
The engineer was a hothead who always appeared pissed off. So when he walked in and saw blood and pizza everywhere he freaked out. He seemed a hell of a lot more concerned about the controls than he did me. They had let me go home for that day because I needed to go to the hospital for stitches. The next day there was a sign that read NO FOOD OR DRINK ALLOWED IN THE STUDIO.
Sheesh. it was an accident.
