Adventures in Work-Related Injuries
So, I managed to sprain my neck at work yesterday, and spent half of today at the clinic my employer uses to handle on-site injuries. Basically, I had to squeeze into a tight space, then lift boxes containing 12 pairs of shoes while keeping my shoulders stretched outward and my neck stretched back in order to fit in the crevice. Now I can't do any lifting or bending over. For the rest of today, I did paperwork, but there isn't enough paperwork to occupy me for 8 hours. It remains to be seen whether they'll try to find 8 hours of busywork for me or just decide to give me medical leave. On the plus side, the sprain isn't very bad, so I'll probably be better in a few weeks.
