Did MLK Have Carpal Tunnel?

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is one of my company's observed holidays, so I'm here in the office, working on my day off. I can't complain, though - I get holiday pay, and my alternate day off is tomorrow. It was a nice run:  Thanksgiving week, Christmas Day, New Years Day. Guess the luck couldn't last forever.

I determined that the pain in my hand is, in fact, Carpal Tunnel. Between that and counting 10+ gray hairs in my beard this morning, I'm feeling pretty fucking old for 34. Yesterday, I bought a new mouse pad with a built-in gel wrist rest, and I could see a near-immediate difference. I need one of these for work...

Lunch! Gotta go.
