Office Problem: Mouse Blisters
This week, I’ve noticed that I’m beginning to face an occupational hazard of my own. It’s slightly embarrassing, given the fact that not even McFly or Von Kaiser know about my problem.
I am forming a blister on my right hand from all my methodical spreadsheet entries.
Yes, my office computer mouse is guilty. Not even a proper jury could save it. Day after day, I am starting to form a pain in my right-hand ring finger. What do I do? Well, there appears to be one single option. I did a quick Google search which left me with Mouse Blisters. Unfortunately it is not exactly appealing. Nor does it scream, “This person is going to be successful.”
Office cool to office tool in .00005 seconds.
Despite the looks, Mouse Blisters product does claim the following:
-It feels great!
-It reduces Carpal Tunnel and Tendonitis symptoms
-Less strain on your hands and wrist
-Durable and long lasting
The part about the motorcycle grips wasn't a joke.
Well damn. It sounds like I need to tape chopped-up motorcycle grips to my mouse. Forget credibility in the office, I will have hands that last forever!
I can’t claim that the product is life saving—because I haven’t used it. However, it does seem to have a ton of great consumer reviews to back it.
But what do I say to my co-workers? Do I admit that I’ve taped cubes of rubber to my mouse because I have a blister problem?
Decisions, decisions. At only $8.99 with free shipping, the pads seem like a steal. I’m just not sure if I’m willing to face the consequences.

They probably help with sweaty palms…not that I get them…ok I do, and I want them.
There is nothing worse than getting a slimy fish handshake from a coworker. McFly you’ve gotta get that in check.
No way! Id rather have the blisters and deal with them than get teased by my office mates.
I’ll take my slimy fish handshake over blister popping handshakes any day.
