This web stuff can actually kill you!

Well, that's not entirely true. But, it is true that you can run the risk of developing a blood clot simply by sitting down for long periods of time, such as on a long-haul flight.


But, then again, if you're a web designer or someone who is sitting down in front of a computer screen for long periods of time, couldn't you also run the same risks as well?


Well, you know something? I'm quite an active sort of person when it comes to work, in that i've always had tough jobs. The pay has never been brilliant, but I guess i'm happy with the job that I do now - up to a point that is.


Ok, so what if I don't get paid to use me brains; at least I don't get paid to sit on me arse all day!


My job involves a lot of standing and throwing up, err, things that is, a lot of walking, some heavy lifting, and, or rushing around which can in itself keep you fit, or stressed out. So, when I was told that I had DVT, or Deep Vein Thrombosis, and had to be given immediate treatment I felt as though someone, somewhere was somehow extracting the urine.


I've done boxing, i've done weights, and i've done all sorts of other sports. These days though, all I want to do is to come home from work and relax; what's wrong with that!


These days though, I have to take things really easy - sleep late in the afternoon, stand in front of me iMac for a couple of hours, sit down for a bit with me legs resting on a raised level. You might want to do the same thing - just in case it happens to you.
