I want to remind everyone to be more aware of our bodies and the ergonomics necessary to keep ourselves in functioning order for the long term. We can all see the obvious hazards of lifting 80-pound motors out of the box, but the hazards of sitting at a console for 15 hours at a time are not as apparent…Are your shoulders relaxed when you are spending a bulk of the day with your eyes looking up in the air? Where is your screen? How is your neck? How tall is your seat? Do you use an ergo mat to stand? How often do you give your eyes a break? What hand/finger/wrist stretching do you do? Are your shoulders relaxed, and do you slouch, or do you sit properly?
