    Don't forget! Your computer job is still killing you

    By Helen A.S. Popkin

    So, what this attractive-yet-informative Saul Bass-style infographic from Medical Billing and Coding is saying is that I can wait for death standing up or sitting down. If I sit, I'll not only be more comfortable, I'll also have a shorter wait. Win-win!  

    Sitting is Killing You
    Via: Medical Billing And Coding

    More on the annoying way we live now:

    • You sitting down? Experts say it'll kill you
    • Why your desk job is slowly killing you
    • Creepy lip-syncing kids guilt moms off Facebook

    Helen A.S. Popkin is a death-obsessive who enjoys reclining as well as animated motion picture title sequences by American graphic designers of the mid-century. Join her on Facebook and/or Twitter, won't you?
