Isn't this week over yet?

[Prudence]

I gots yer complaints right here...

So, I have bilateral carpal tunnel. I had an L&I claim several years ago. (And let me tell you that it's a sad sign when someone under 25 has an L&I claim for carpal tunnel!) Mostly my arms behave now, but that's because I listen to them. If I don't, they're liable to suddenly go all tingly-numb and I get aches all the way through my elbows up to my shoulders and into my back. So I try to pay attention to things like - no heavy lifting. So why do I always get nominated to change the water jug on the water cooler? Somehow it's *my* job. Hello? What part of no heavy lifting was confusing? But the faculty won't do it because they minght injure themselves. So I muscled the jug across the room (because the storage racks are on the other side of the room) and and onto the pedestal and now my arms ache. Huge surprise.

Argh! That just makes me angry! Those jerks. I would just let them be thirsty.

ARGGH! Totally unnacceptable! Um, aren't there any chivalrous fellas in the office? *ducking the angry glare of feminists everywhere*

I once somehow got stuck with that job when I worked at the Disneyland Hotel. I couldn't even lift it, and when I finally did manage to somehow, I sent it tumbling and boy oh boy, water ahoy! Some very kind fellas (I believe one of them was Hades ) rescued me, and I never was asked to do it again. Amen! Start spillin' that water, Pru!

Other tips to avoid office duties you don't want to partake in:

*Smile big, bat eyes,twirl hair, chew on fingertips coyly and giggle.
*Have sex with the office manager. Added bonus if he highly resembles Scott Bakula or James Marsters. Female manager? Learn to "experiment". Fast.
*Two simple words convey "no", and managers love to hear them: "f*ck you"


Okay, I am SO kidding! I've never done any of those things, although quite honestly, if my boss was a single Scott Bakula or James Marsters doppelgänger, I might need to break that rule, but that's another Thread. Ah, here's to forbidden love on the copier machine..

Hang in, there Pru!

Feminism and chivalry are not mutually exclusive.

At least that's what I think!
