Lately I've developed the habit of chewing gum, nearly 24/7. This is to prevent an even worse nail-biting problem that I couldn't find a solution to (sour liquid to dip my fingers in, finger guards...it all failed yet, the gum seems to work. I'm hoping this helps me kick the habit.
The effects that cold weather has on the body can be very drastic. You have mild dry skin that can escalate to various degrees of frost-bite if your skin is left exposed. With frost-bite you have the potential of temporary or even permanent motor loss of the deep tissue because the frozen nerve cells have died.It is very simple to prevent this though. All you need to do is cover up the exposed skin and dress in layers to keep warm moist air near to the body.

Hope you all enjoyed...I'm not getting much feedback and I would really like to make this more tolerable for you all to read but if you don't say anything...I can't fix it. Enjoy the coming week.
Hmm...what's to fix? Why do you assume there's something wrong with it? That paragraph about frostbite numbed my brain a little bit (sounded like something cut and pasted off the internet...) but the rest of your writing was great.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the nail biting. Sounds like the gum is your best bet. What is your worst work story? And yes, it sucks that they strategically plan your schedule so you don't get a break. But look at it the other way - you're not even pulling four hour shifts. You must have had longer than this at some point? What's been your longest day there?
What is with that weird chart about wind chill? Maybe I could read it if I clicked on it.
I'll make a link for full size. And this time the frostbite is my writing. And yes, my longest shift was 11 hours.
DeleteI was thinking the same thing about breaks. I work about 7 hours a day on Saturday and Sunday, 8-3 and I don't usually get one. It sucks, I know.
DeleteVery informational! YAY DAN!
