I think my wrists are going to implode. I've been on the PC for a fair few days now (at work and at home) trying to get my digital life tied up before I head over to the 'mother land'. Just this minute, I've adjusted my swivelly chair down so my arms are at a 90 degree angle with the desk ... hey, it's a start. More on preventing RSI/OOS/CTS, complete with handy diagrams ...

Which leads me on to the more general field of ergonomics, or human-machine interaction. I touched briefly on it a few years ago while taking a paper in Applied Cognition as a part of my psyc degree: a fascinating field (plus we got to watch lots of Homer Simpson clips ... you know, the ones where he almost causes a nuclear meltdown and manages to prevent it in the nick of time by randomly pressing buttons).

All you never needed to know about fake tanning products and were far too afraid to ask (maybe it's a guy thing).

For the love of any higher deity, don't write stuff like this in your job application cover letters.
