A new level of nerdiness?

So I was sitting here typing and realized something was amiss. As my left ring finger reached for the 'w', there was a shot of pain. It was fairly annoying, I actually had to stop typing and get an ibuprofen. This struck me as extremely odd. I am careful to avoid any physical activity that may produce soreness. Why would I bother with that? So, it becomes obvious that I've done something to my hand. I begin thinking about what I could possibly have done.

I'm right handed, and not even the tiniest bit ambidextrous. I use my right hand to mouse and to write. At work, I use my right hand to work pipettes. But my left... nothing. As I held up my hand and looked at the palm, something occurred to me. I like to read during my downtime at work. I'm reading a particularly engrossing classic scifi book right now, so I'm even reading during lunch. I use my right hand to eat, obviously. This leaves my left had to hold the book.

I remember thinking today that holding the book was a little uncomfortable. As it turns out, it was awkward enough to make my hand sore hours later. So lets just recap: while blogging about scifi, I realized that my hand hurt from reading too much. Also, I was listening to MPR online when all this happened. That's right, I'm awesome.
