Will Ergonomics Save My Back

So, thanks to my work schedule and the numbness in my wrist I believe I may have finally contracted carpal tunnel syndrome. I use the word "contract" because this could have been avoided; I could have used protection to save myself the discomfort, embarrassment and humiliation I've had to suffer out in the open. I am now labeled a pansy.

Because I am so needed at my job, a specialist was brought in to evaluate my working station, the way I sit, the distance my monitor sits in relation to the outreach of my arms (?). So after it's all said and done, I am more uncomfortable now then I was when I had opened my big fucking mouth "do you REALIZE how hard you work me here? NO help, LONG hours; and I think I have carpal TUNNEL!" I figured I'd get a pat on the back, maybe a half day, but not all this crap.

So now my chair is upright, my line of sight 3/4 from the top of my monitor, my second monitor is raised on a platform to my right, and all my god damn Photoshop palates are ALL screwed up.

Isn't it time for a drink?
