Question of the Day

I cut my lip shaving this morning at 6:15am. It wouldn't stop bleeding no matter what I did. I had an 8am meeting and no amount of pressure, tissue paper, or Vaseline would stop the hemorrhage.

I spent the entire hour long meeting wiping blood from my lip with my finger. I licked my lip so many times that I ingested 2 pints of my own blood and now my lips are severely chapped. It was gross and embarrassing. It just wouldn't stop.

My next meeting was at 10am. I spent from 9am to 9:50 in surgery, again applying pressure, smothering Vaseline and trying to dry it out with tissue paper.

9:55am. It stopped.

Wow, miraculously before my meeting, it just stopped? I look in the mirror and notice that the tissue paper had somewhat gelatinized between a 1/2 moist, 1/2 dry, raised, red, textured mess on my lip. It no longer looked like tissue paper and blood, it looked like:

Herpes.

Now I have a pressing decision to make. I have two options to choose from.

A) Do I go to my next meeting looking as if herpes simplex 47 just threw a rager on my lip, but at least it's not constantly bleeding?

or

B) Do I rub off the tissue paper and just sit through the next hour licking my lip like a dog with peanut butter stuck in its mouth?
