Now that’s not your normal case of carpal tunnel

I’ve been sitting in my cube at the Empire cracking the last ten pounds of this year’s pecans.  They’re all Barretts, a tiny, thick-shelled variety that are very hard to shell even after they’ve been cracked.  Getting the hulls apart takes a lot of fingernail strength and puts a bunch of strain on the tendons in my right hand.  It’s sore as the devil and I have to favor it a lot when I’m typing call notes.
