Eager Opossum I always sat (a lot) closer to my monitor than recommended. And set the monitor on a stack of 2-3 reams of printer paper to get it to a proper height. And a bunch of other things that the ergonomist said, “well, that’s not what we recommend, but it seems to work for you.” The single hardest thing for me, being 6’5” and 280# was finding a chair that was tall enough and rated for my weight, which meant getting an ergonomist out to sign off on the “he’s too big for normal furniture” form.
