Well I finally got a job, I’ve been doing it for a week so far. It’s not the best job in the world though it does give me time to write some scripts.

I have to lift 25kg bags of ascorbic acid powder in to a funnel that lets the powder run slowly into an electric sieve, thats calibrated to only allow some of the granules through. You see the bags come in to the factory with 600micron granules, and we can only use 500 micron granules.

So the sieve sepperated the sizes.

A single bag takes about 45 mins, and I get to sit there and watch it.

Well, friday I pulled a muscle in my lower right back, and on Monday I did it again.

So I thought I’d lift with my left on Tuesday, just incase I pulled my back again. So as I lifted the bag up the powder in the bag slid back, and as I strightened my arm, the weight pulled it back, and every muscle in my arm went "pang!”

My triscep is the most painfull at the moment, my top forearm and shoulder blade is tight and sore. While the tendons in my under forearm are pulled, meaning I have a very weak grip in my left hand.

That means I’m off for a week.

Joy… been trying all this time to get a job and now I finaly have one I get injured…

Always the same…
