    There is no such thing as "RSI". There are however many people who enjoy being liars. Congratulations in obtaining your "Complete Bullshitters" certificate - part 1. If you wish to obtain part two start talking about "M.E." .

    6+ hours a day? I probably wouldn't have any problems if I only worked 6 hours a day.

    How do you get from 6+ to only 6? Are you telling me that you work 10 hours per day, seven days per week? Also, you should be lucky you don't have to draft that shit with a pencil, or then you'd have a legitimate right to claim that your hand hurts. You're just another fucking whiner lashing out at people because you can't deal with your guilt about carrying a nasty fat tire around your waist.
