I think I have Carpel Tunnel

For the last few weeks I have been rubbing a sore right forearm and wrist every afternoon. Mousing hurts like hell.

Last night my right arm and wrist ached and throbbed so mightily that I jumped out of bed at 3AM and swalled 2 Advil. 2 wasn't enough, but I did manage to get some sleep.

Goddammit.

This morning I am learning how to mouse left-handed. This afternoon I am considering stalking over to IT and demanding an ergonomic keyboard and more confortably shaped mouse. I am sure that after they climb back onto their chairs and stop laughing, they'll thank me for the momentary diversion and send me on my way. I like to support office morale.
