Less web surfing from now on

[babysimon]

Over the last couple of months I have had little work to do and have been surfing the web an awful lot, an activity which requires near-constant use of the mouse. Recently my index finger has started hurting when I click, and hurts very very slightly all the time.

Shit.

Shit shit shit shit shit.

Like most geeks, I find the idea of RSI very scary. I've just remapped my mouse so I can use it (badly) in my left hand, and am busily hoping that use of a keyboard isn't going to aggravate it. Does anyone have any idea? Paul? CJ?

In other news, I went clubbing for the first time in nearly a year on Friday night (not counting the Way Out, which counts as a different, scarier experience). And needless to say, I had a lovely party last night, with discovery of a new potential shag, and a very very very unexpected co-topping situation. And today I have managed to make myself leek, mushroom and stilton filo parcels, a recipe that did not exist until I thought of it. Hurrah! I'm the new Jamie Oliver, me. Pukka.

are you sure its mouse use and not other things you've been doing with your fingers? Ooh are matron.
seriously though I don't know of things for rsi, my boss suffered so I can ask her if you like. What about getting a wako pad for your computer then you could use a pen for a mouse, people rarely complain of long term rsi from writing with a pen, although I am not sure what writers cramp is.

dying to know what happened after hannah and I left last night, but I suspect I'll find out over the course of the week.

btw liked the cyberman outfit with corset
