I forgot to mention...

...that a couple of weeks ago I was moving some product around where I work (vague enough for you?), stuff that is not heavy or cumbersome at all. Back and forth I go, moving ten of these things from one cart to another.

During one of these moves, I swung my right arm too far, smacking my elbow, my surgically repaired elbow, on the sharp corner of a small keyboard holder. Said keyboard holder is made of hard plastic, and is totally immobile, therefore delivering maximum impact to my arm. I clutched my elbow and swore like a sailor being told he's going back to Iraq for the fifth time. After a few minutes, I told my supervisor, and he came over to my work area and I showed him what had happened. He said he would get someone from Facilities to fix the problem.

Fast-forward two weeks, and the fucking keyboard thing looks exactly the same, its sharp corner daring me to fling some other body part carelessly at its rock-hard edge. I tell my supervisor, and he is surprised by the information that nothing has been done. I wonder to myself if it ever occurred to him to check on it personally - I think if I was in his position I would.

So, now I wonder if I will have to make that trek back to his desk two weeks hence. Or should I go over his head?
