thought I'd bring back High Hair Lady

Maybe her posture will rub off on me.

Holly's grandmother was taught to sit as if her spine was fused to an iron rod. I pictured one of those pieces of metal with little semi-scored divisions that you see at construction sites---I think they put them inside concrete to reinforce it. Kinda like long Tootsie rolls.

Hmmm... we haven't had a poll here in a while:

[Poll #464633]

My answer to the poll requires several clarifying details:

1) Technically, I'm physically incapable of sitting up completely straight, since I have scoliosis. My spine has an 8-degree curve in it. But it's a left-to-right curve, not a front-to-back curve.

2) The RSI in my shoulders causes me instant extreme pain whenever I slip a single millimeter out of perfect ergonomic position when typing, yet as long as I stay in perfect ergonomic position at every second, it never hurts at all. This gives me constant reminders to always sit up absolutely as straight as I possibly can, to a much greater extent than I ever would otherwise.

3) However, back before a rotten furniture setup damaged my shoulders eight years ago, people did already tell me that I had good posture.
