Aye, sorry you got fired, obviously. That sucked.
But if you get fired, at least have an awesome story to tell about it.

Get a proper desk and a proper computer.
Using a laptop for extended work is bad. Always has been. If your employer is making you use a laptop for hours in a row during a normal work day (i.e. not while visiting some on-site location or while on the road), they should provide you with a proper monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Also, make sure your desk is suitable for computer use. Low desks (that are close to knee height) are not suitable for computer use. The keyboard will be too low, the monitor will be too low. It sucks.
I find it hilarious that MacBook hipsters are now figuring out what offices have known (and have practiced) for half a century.
tl;dr apparently, MacBook hipsters have discovered that ignoring ergonomics in favour of shininess is bad for you. See picture on Wikipedia for more info
EDIT: apparently, ergonomics in relation to typing/computer use has been known for about half a century.
