Got to the warehouse at 6:00 AM to prepare for a client call in Indiana. Left the front door open.
A young guy with a knife came in. I have 6 stitches in my left arm, lots of bruises and a possible fracture in my left hand.
The kid is in the hospital with a dislocated sholder, a broken wrist and other bruises and cuts. Then, it's off to jail.
Thing is, I know the guy. He has been around frequently asking for hand-outs and work. A few weeks ago, he worked a day stacking inventory and saw instruments and electronic equipment. That was stupid on my part.
Really feel bad about hurting the guy. I was lucky; could have ended up much worse, for everyone.
A real wake-up call.
Be careful out there!
