ARRRGH!

Ugh.

Back.

Hurting.

Pain shooting throughout my extremities.

What the hell did I do to my back?

Can sitting on your ass all day be that hard on your back? Even in an ergonomically designed chair?

Does anyone have any morphine? Perhaps a good, stiff drink maybe?

From my own experience, "ergonomic" furniture and accessories can be even worse for you if they're not adjusted right for you or aren't necessary. I used one of those gel mouse/keyboard wrist-rests for about two weeks before my normally pain-free wrists started burning like hell.

I can last longest at a computer when I'm slouched way the hell down in my chair, leaning over on one elbow, with the heels of my hands planted firmly on my natural keyboard's palmrest. Which is to say, all the stuff they tell you not to do.
