This really has been the longest work week ever. It shouldn't because we're really busy, but having the Friday supervisor there everyday makes every day seem like Friday, yet Friday never comes. I also agreed to work overtime this weekend to get extra cash. If we would stay busy enough between now and my Vegas trip that I could get OT every week, I'll make it.

We lucked out last night, though. The Friday supervisor lives two streets away from us in the same park. The transformer that supplies electricity to her street blew and they were in the dark for over six hours until crews could replace it. Of course, I had no clue this happened until she asked me how I liked the heat last night. I was totally confused by her question and she thought we were in the dark, too. Six hours without my Internet connection? Don't think I could bear it!

I don't know what I've done to my wrists, but they hurt like the dickens (where did that phrase come from anyway?). I thought maybe I was suffering a little bit of carpel tunnel as it started in my right mousing wrist, but today they both hurt.

At least I'm not alone with my wrist problems. If you watch The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, you know that Stephen Colbert recently broke his wrist and has started the WristStrong campaign to raise awareness of of wrist injuries. He even has a WristStrong Bracelet available to show your support. You can buy one on the Comedy Central site and proceeds go to the Yellow Ribbon Fund, an organization that assists injured service members and their families while they recuperate at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center.

I may have to get one of those.
