ohh noo I never been an office boy ,ı didnt work in offices ,hence ı dont know paper cut 


but ı know and lived other cuts ,cable,wire,knife,sharp tool cuts many time ,for years,


it is unexplained pain ,small but deep, not big but burning..


the worst is to hide it from other collegues,managers and my family ,


company managers will fill a report and collegues and famiy  will get sad ,
