My job can be rough on me, namely my neck. Last night, however, was probably the worst I'd ever had it.

By the time I left work last night, my neck was on fire. Muscle tension and stress combined to make my muscles tight bands of sheer and exquisite pain, stretching up into my skull and giving me a nightmare of a headache. I went to sleep thankful that sweet unconsciousness would heal my wounds and I wouldn't need to experience it in the meantime.

That was at three. I woke up a couple of times during the night to discover, to my dismay, that I felt no better at all. Finally, at seven, I had to get up for an hour to down ibuprofen, massage my neck, and apply a hot water bottle. Then I went back to sleep and didn't get up again till my alarm woke me at two.

I feel a little better, but I know it's gonna recur. I can feel it.

Try Excedrin Tension Headache. I've had a decent experience with it.

I'll keep that in mind for the future, though I don't have time to get some now. Really, the best cure will be my three-day weekend. When you consider that I just banged out 5 esentially consecutive 12 hour shifts it isn't surprising that I feel this way.

...It's not going to recur tonight! Not if my magic fingers and I have anything to say about it!!!

Oh, it's already HAPPENING, you just get to try to FIX it.

There is no TRY.

Yes there was, it followed the original Slayers and Slayers Next.

Sorry, may be a stupid question, but what's your job?

I'm a Health Unit Coordinator in a hospital ER here.

Essentially, a glorified secretary.

Lol, at least it sounds good.

...It does?

It's not, not at all.

The title, I meant. 'Health Unit Coordinator' sounds important, even a little bit flash. 'Secretary' does not.

True. Externally I always use my title, for that reason, though internally it means nothing.
