Computers

[Linzi84]

My job consists of staring at a computer for 9 1/2 hours Monday-Friday and constantly using a mobile phone to take calls off engineers. How much damage will this be causing me?

Have you found that you have any repetitive strain injuries? Or any problems with your back, shoulders or eyes? I would watch out for any symptoms you get, as they will act as a warning that you are overdoing one particular thing.

My eyes sometimes feel like they are straining a bit, and sometimes I get headaches

Only time will tell. All the research into how bad mobi's are for you haven't been too conclusive. If you're worried about radiation from CRT monitors, ask for an LCD flatscreen.

My screen is a flat screen. What's an LCD?

My mate was in the same situation, he sat doing that for 5 years and now he has turned gay. i reckon you should quit and call your boss a c0ck.

All companies pay for their staff to have eye tests if they use a computer for a long period of time. Habe a word with your boss to find out what they can do for you. Hope this helps you!

LCD means Liquid crystal display, its just how a flat screen works, I work in an office in a bunker for 2 days 2 nights and then 4 days off, 12 hour shifts always at a PC Screen. Every hour however i take a 10 minute break to go upstairs for a smoke, my eyes are fine and I dont tend to get head aches either. (thing is I cant say the same about lung cancer in a few years time) My point is though if you take a regular break (5 - 10 mins per hour), allow your eyes to look at distant objects (even just looking out of the window) you will find less strain on your eyes and headaches will become less persistant.
