I've been doing data entry all week, along with 3 other temps the Ministry quickly scrambled to hire after realizing demand for scholarships outstripped past years by a fair bit, and my back is killing me. I've tried all sorts of positions, but I think it has to do with the ridgidity I hold my body in when tabbing through fields, combined with repetitive turning to the right to pick up the next paper application. I'll try moving my papers to the left for awhile. Of course, that means I'll have to move my mouse back over to the right, encouraging a different sort of repetitive stress injury. Office work is a strange balancing act of preventing your body from destroying itself. Data entry is my second least favorite type of work (the first being customer service, which is far too artificial for my nature. I was the kid that would fake sickness to avoid the door to door sales stuff we used to do to raise funds for our school. Luckily my mother also hated it and was quite happy to let me sit it out). At least I'm being paid at the Executive Assistant rate, rather than the Data Entry one.

My healthy kick is going well. I lost a kilo over the past week. My skin feels good, probably due to the free avocadoes my boss continuously brings in.
