Are you sitting Comfortably
August 26, 2008 |
The trouble with choosing a good computer desk is that there are so many varieties to pick from. There is the regular, plain Jane computer desk that comes with a table, a chair and nothing else; there is also the drawer variety of computer desk that comes with, you guessed it, a drawer!
Then of course there is the ergonomically designed computer desk that comes with an adjustable table height and optimal positioning of the computer for reading and working convenience.
And finally there is the space age computer desk that makes you feel like Captain Kirk atop the control and command terminal on the spaceship Enterprise!
But if only your average Cad designer could have access to such luxuries.
Joking aside though CAD designers and graphic artists spend many hours in front of their screens and often scant regard is given to suitable desking and seating arrangements. Whilst you are young your body can adapt to incorrect seating arrangements and desks that simply do not promote good posture.
As you get older (yes I’m one of the older ones) you will start to pay and it an be a struggle to find a comfortable position.
Don’t be afraid to ask the boss to provide an adequate working environment, there are laws to ensure they do, and as tempting as it is when you are concentrating on a project, make sure you stand up and move around regularly to stop yourself from getting stiff.
