The Hunchback of Kensington

While I haven't quite reached the state of this poor bloke, increasingly I'm noticing just how terrible my posture is as I hunch over my keyboard! I try to throw my shoulders back, to force my spine straight, but one minute later I'm right back where I started.

I swear, by the time I'm sixty, I'll barely be able to bring myself upright! I'll have to spread all my reading material out on the floor and type with my toes.

Back in my corporate days, I had my office ergonomically designed. But even that didn't seem to make a difference to my errant posture. There's just something so comforting about learning close to my laptop screen, as if the proximity to my brain will enable diffusion or something. Soon my head is going to be fused to the screen.

Does anyone else have a posture problem? And what do you do to solve it?

*(I'm going to be slightly MIA as my parents are visiting this week. I'll try my best to post here and there and visit blogs while I can, though!)
