and most importantly, I did stop the shot.


Good block then HP!

I'm no orthopedic, but sounds like you really broke your digit there amigo!  Yet nothing that a splint won't repair.

Quick fix:  Four 'fingers' of cachaça (excuse the pun); two popsicle sticks; some gauze and tape.  Take your shot (liquid, by mouth, not a kick with your foot), wait 60 seconds, and then have the most sadistic member of your team 'straighten out' your finger.  After you've screamed, have them splint your finger with the sticks; wrap and tape.  If you didn't cry when you finger was 'adjusted', have another shot.

If you did cry, have two....  Cry

I might bark, but I don't bite.

LOL ... Don't know, mate. I've done all the interviews now I'm awaiting verdict. One of the companies in SP was interested in me and they want me on the team. Naturally since I'm dealing with Brazilians here I have to take everything with a pinch of salt, until I actually receive signed contract and approved visa nothing is certain. Will send them reminders every week or two, don't want to bore them out of hell but need to show interest for a job. I've been advised by Dom Pedro.
