How are you sitting in front of your PC/Mac/laptop right now?
Edited on Wed Mar-30-05 11:38 PM by KrazyKat
I'm comfy, but I think this might be an ergonomics nightmare: I've got my chair kicked waaaaaay back and my legs are up on my desk. The keyboard is on my lap -- it bounces a bit when I type. And no, I'm not getting overly friendly with it! :evilgrin:

:hi:

2. I'm actually reclining in my non-reclining chair
I don't how to describe it - normally I sit proper, but now I"m in my chair with my body almost straight - my butt's way forward, with my shoulders against the back of the chair, and my feet as far as forward as possible.

Which is odd - I don't think I've been in this position for years.

And it's not very comfortable, and I will change it as soon as I hit "post message".

3. Lying on couch watching TV, laptop on lap, cat draped over legs.
(And it's not a PC -- feh. Mac rules.) This is a much more comfortable position than sitting at a desk in a freakin' cubicle (like I do all day).

9. Sorry, ocelot -- my oversight, and it's been corrected.
I should know beter -- my wife works on a Mac and I know the drill!

13. Cat is lying across my knees, just behind the laptop.
This renders me fairly immobile, and pretty warm, too.

5. Ergonomically, ideal
Herman Miller Aeron chair.

MS Natural split keyboard.

Arms positioned just so (elbows at the same level as my hands), feet flat on the floor, and back straight.

Wearing a midnight blue silk nightgown and Victoria's Secret lingerie.

:D

10. I was just kicked off the PC by my husband, who needs it to write.
So I'm sitting propped up on the bed with 4 pillows behind my back and one on my lap, with the laptop balance on that pillow. Listening to some groovy jazz and DUing. Fun!
