Make 'em say "ouch"

I think I injured myself while using a hole punch (btw - is it "hole punch"? or "hole puncher"? simply for clarification purposes only; I get too much enjoyment out of saying "hole punch" to stop now). I was punching the holes (duh) in the reams and reams of print outs from my classes (I must have done at least 250 pages) and my wrist now feels very warm and awkward.

I reaaaaaaaaaaally don't want to be here right now. I also really want to [hole] punch physically harm any number of people at the moment, in my class and in the world at large.

Ho shit, I just realized it's 1:06 so I have class in 15 minutes. Jebus.

We got a number of handouts on stress management this afternoon during one of the more open classes (the things they'll do to give us additional credits here...). There's a good bit of potentially useful information on procrastination, as in stopping it. I want to read it. But, wouldn't reading said literature instead of actually studying constitute procrastination? Dilemma dilemma.

All right, for the road - "bitches".

You are sure it's the HOLE PUNCHER that injured your wrist.

Maybe you should consider reading this: advice for the heathen.

OMG, you went to Bronx Science High School (I looked on your interest page). My best friend from College and still one of my closest friends went there. I visited there once with her. She graduated in 1989, so you probably missed her.

That link you gave me was great. It's bookmarked.

If your friend went to Science in 1989 I missed her by five years or so, yes. *grin* That's a cool coincidence, though.

I'd say 'hole punch'. It just rolls off the tongue better.

I think it might be a UK thing, the hole punch. I swear I've heard my folks call it that occasionally, but my mom said "hole puncher". Punch punch punch. Yes. Infinitely better.

I've always called it a hole punch

I'm thinking it's a UK thing. My folks occasionally call it that as well, although they deny it now.

My very un-medical diagnosis is that you were on your way to a repetitive strain injury. You're probably fine, but if it hurts later, try to let it rest for a while.

Also, I <3 your icon. Can I yoink it?

My wrist is super-de-dooper some 10 hours later. Thank you, doctor. *grin*

You can soitenly yoink my icon. I wish to heaven I could remember who made it. I'm hideous at giving credit to stuff I found a while ago.
