I was supposed to help out with my brother’s marketing plan yesterday afternoon. Even though I didn’t promise him anything, I still feel bad for abandoning him. It was a skeletal workforce day yesterday at work. Apparently, there were too many files for the group to handle and they asked me (and some other people too) to come over to the office after lunch to help out—which is the reason why I couldn’t go over my brother’s marketing plan. I’ve been at the office for three consecutive Mondays now, when supposedly, on skeletal workforce days, each employee works on a Monday once every four weeks. I don’t know if anyone would agree with me, that I find it really unfair, on top of which, as an “editor”, I’m still earning a transcriptionist’s salary.
I’ve been having problems mostly with my left hand since who knows when. I would just pull my hair back into a ponytail and my fingers would “curl” up on me. I would just grab something and I would drop it because my grip is too loose. I would press the Shift key with my pinky and it would send some kind of “current” up my elbow, sometimes even up to my shoulder.
Well, yesterday at work, they had me transcribe (when I’m supposedly an “editor”—psssh! Really, a lot of people are multi-tasking at work, if you know what I mean!) a 10-minute portion of a lengthy voice file and my hand just gave away when I went home in the evening.
I missed work today because I decided to go to my doctor this morning for a checkup and I was diagnosed with a mild carpal tunnel syndrome. She said my wrist is over fatigued, and as long as I do not flex it often, it would be fine.
Not flexing it=semi-paralyzed. o_O
