Meeting a Deadline
This morning I woke up 3 hours later than I had planned. I was hoping to finish some work to meet a deadline.
I jumped out of bed and rushed to my computer. Anxious, I typed frantically. I was tapping my pen on my Wacom tablet with much more force than I typically use, because I was stressed. I was also clenching the pen, which didn't help.
I did finish the work, but at a great cost to my hands. Now, my left knuckles have sharp pain going through them. The outside of my left arm is throbbing.
My left index finger and several of the fingers on my right hand are numb and tingly. It is the same sensation as when your foot falls asleep; uncomfortable, irritating, and awkward.
I should not have done this to myself. It's just a job; why do I allow it to give me so much pain?
