Dear Young Person,
Please invest early in an ergonomically correct workspace. Don't spare the cost. You will thank me later.
Sincerely,
Your Spine

You might say I took the easy way out by choosing to illustrate change as a noun rather than a verb.

I've had this on my mind for a while and it finally came to fruition. Its a saw-whet owl, hence no ear tufts.

This is such a fun theme and I'm just participating for the fun of it.
My favorite book is such a predictably girlie book, but I just love the story and all the irony and wit intertwined into the narrative.

This is something I did in watercolor. The few things I've posted here have been digital, but I also like to work with "real" media which I'm trying to practice more.

Is the hidden message for her or are they casually going about their own business?
oh i hear you, i just don't listen...my ergo chair is in my studio, but i spend my work hours in my dining room slumped on a stool with my laptop up on a cabinet....oh my aching neck & back...
Ay! When will we ever learn?? ;-)
I don't have my "mouse surface" at the right height. After a long day at the computer. I pay for it with my right shoulder.
Are you getting that new chair?
gail
Gail-- Funny thing is, I bought a new chair back in the fall, and thought my setup was pretty good. But I'd better look at it again. I think maybe I slouch too much and jam up my neck. That's what I'm payin' for now...
Got any chair recommendations?
I am utterly unergonomic - and am paying a price for it.
I mostly work on my laptop and my rear end goes to sleep and I get neck aches and have to go to get back rubs. It is getting expensive and i think i'm getting carpal tunnel.
Or it may be I am just lazy and don't like work.......
As someone who spent three weeks in a wrist brace this spring, I can only say, "Yeah! What spine said." (that was Wrist talking)
Well, I could think of better ways to procrastinate, Elizabeth! But the back rub sounds delightful...
And Jacqui, a.k.a. "Wrist"-- I feel you pain! I had a wrist issue last year, luckily not carpal tunnel. Some time in a night brace and some strengthening work seemed to do the trick.
Sheesh, who knew this occupation could be so hazardous to our health?! ;-)
Oh brother-- "I feel YOUR pain."
Sorry, I can't stand typos...
For those of us who still use traditional paint and paint at a drafting table, all I can say is OOouuuuucccHHHHHH!!! Maybe I need to switch everything to digital media. I am looking down all day, and my neck is a total mess all the time. Poo.
I have been through 2 tables and 6 chairs in 20 years and nothing ever helps.
Again I say Poo.
Yikes, Kate-- this is beginning to sound like a common theme!
