I could revamp my workstation, but my better half is an occupational therapist, and she tells me that my current setup is pretty close to ideal.
Working less isn’t really an option there are news posts to write, articles to edit, and reviews to crank out.
The twinge that manifests in my shoulder toward the end of my shift is painful enough that my freshly downloaded copy of Battlefield 4 remains unplayed. Recently, it’s become difficult to make it through the day without some mousing-related discomfort, especially if I spend a lot of time in Excel. But perhaps due to those marathon sessions, I’ve developed a bit of an RSI issue in my right shoulder. That wasn’t a problem years ago, when I had the stamina to put in a full day working for TR and then spend hours in the evenings dealing out headshots in first-person shooters. My right hand also spends an awful lot of time clutching my mouse. I use my dominant hand for everything from scrawling my name to hurling tennis balls for my dog to brushing my teeth.
