I Can't Feel My Hands!

The past couple of days I've been spending a little too much time in front of my computer. I have quite a bit of office work that needs to be completed and not forgetting all my blog assignments that I've been getting of late. There's quite a few of them that's waiting to be completed and I'm going slightly crazy trying to slot them all in.

And all that typing has made my hands and wrist hurt like crazy. I know I need to take a break instead of churning out post after post but hey, with the current increase of every single essential product out there, I definitely could do with the added income. And the more assignments, the merrier it is for me.

I mean, take for instance today in the local papers, I read that they were going to raise the parking rates in the city. And this coming right after the very recent fuel hikes. How insensitive can the darn Mayor be? It's not like we're not already suffering trying to make ends meet at the moment. I travel a lot to the city for my work and I guess I'm going to be forking out a lot more for parking as well ... siggghhh ...

I wonder what else they're planning on raising. One thing I can be sure of is it ain't going to be my salary, that's for sure! So, get ready for a nice round of some marathon postings from me in the next few days :D I do have to finish all my assignments afterall. I'm only hoping I don't paralyze my wrists or something from all the typing I'm going to be doing on this very uncomfortable keyboard.

Maybe I should invest in one of those computer keyboard tray thingy's I saw online. It's actually great for anyone working for extended periods of time on the computer. It's supposed to protect and support your hands while you type so you wouldn't run the risk of getting disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome or stuff like that. I know I wouldn't want such a disorder to befall me so I think I just might actually get one for myself :D

  3. My wrist hurts from too much typing sometimes. The doctor gave my a wrist splint to use when I type and it does help...when I remember to use it. ;o)
