What is pissing you off this time?

[DanaC]

heh. Aye, there's that :P


On a serious note, one of the best exercises for the back, supposedly, is a good walk. I walk all the fucking time. I walk every day, several times a day, probably amounting to a couple of hours in two or three chunks. Not counting the to-ing and fro-ing, I'm talking going for a walk. Always have. Even when I didn't have a dog (for a few years) I used to get my headphones on and fuck off for a long walk several times a week.

I think along with considering pilates, and various other attempts to sort out my back, I shold probably get my arse in gear and buy a new mattress. This one's fucked. It's been fucked for ages. I know it's a major factor. That and the computer chair, in which I spend far too much time to be putting up with the slight slant, and the slopy seat.

:p


[eta] oh yeah and, 'lift with the knees, not with the back' etc when removing two stone of puppy from the bath

Work is pissing me off. Non-union 2 class gig means 9 hours on site every day. No time to prep or write reports on kids progress that's all homework. Administration dumped a bunch of 3 year olds on me mid-year whose needs and behaviors don't fit the program, disrupting progress for Special Ed and Typical kids alike. It feels like a goddamn daycare. And I had to call DSS on a family, I hate hate hate to bring the law into someone's home, it violates my very core beliefs. But I'm a mandated reporter my ass is on the line when you don't care for your child.

2) I use a kneeling chair - I've been lucky to find two in the local charity shop

Then you'll be kicking your ass for not doing it sooner, like I did.
I used to work with a guy having back trouble, until the doctor told him to put a magazine under one cheek of his ass on his work chair. That did the trick, a chair just the thickness of a magazine out of whack, can screw you up.

That could explain a lot in my case.
