MyUsa s01e02: How to get a Lateral Epicondylitis without playing Tennis

Note to the reader: before you start to read this post be sure to not be at work, you will laugh so loudly that your boss could fire you.

A month ago I had got the idea of upgrade the Valeria's iBook with a boosted 160HD. I did my shopping:
  • HD from a cheap website
  • Screwdrivers from my preferred hardware store
and I googled a tutorial on How To upgrade the HD for a 12inches iBook.
I brought everything in my office and the whole upgrade process took ONE long day (I did use all my break times included the lunch time! ).
Thanks to the Apple engineers I had to work on tons of mini screws with different sizes and formats. At the end of the day I felt a weird pain on my left elbow.... but I said to myself.... "don't worry Virgilio... tomorrow the pain will end!!!".


After a month the pain is still here and as my doctor said I have a "Lateral Epicondylitis" to the left elbow due to stress of the elbow junction structures.

I will leave the comments to the readers....but let me say .... I would have never imagined myself getting injured in such a geeky way! DOH
