I am in my early 30s, but I feel like I am already in my 50s or 60s. Some of the health implications of working too long and too hard in front of the computer are the actuality that my back hurts, my head throbs, my eyes complain, and my wrist also suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome. But, I guess that I don't have a choice. It's part of my job. I have to research and read for all the articles that I have to write. I have to use the computer for all my data entry tasks. It sometimes sucks to think about all the work and all the long hours of sitting and staring the computer monitor. But, I have to work in order to survive...I have to provide for my family, for my daughter.
Ever since I got my laptop, I became addicted to the internet. In my spare time, I just love to surf and read on new things. If there's a new word that I can not understand, I simply can not just sit down and keep on ignoring that unfamiliar term. Maybe I am just an OC, but that's the way I am. Internet is my life these days. If there's a new recipe on T.V. that I want to cook for my family, i just google it. If I want to buy a new bag or clothes, I just search online to find about the latest trend for the current season and where to get it the cheapest way possible. It's not only my bread and butter, but it's also my channel to release and reduce my everyday stress in life.
With my sore back and strained wrist, I can not just stop working. Maybe I just need a new chair and a new table which are comfortable to avoid further injury. I am sometimes guilty of working while sitting down in our bed and I must confess that it's a bit awkward and torturing.I have a scoliosis, but I kept on forgetting that I have this condition. That I need to maintain a good posture and not indulge my back in any strenuous positions or activities.
I am not getting any younger anymore. I need to take care of my health because as they say, "Heath is wealth."
