My current desk chair has become one of my true friends, there for me day and night, whether I'm working from my home office, which I've done for a total of about five years, searching for a job, writing a blog, or plotting . I've spent a lot of time in that chair, which has been with me for seven years, and it had begun to show it. Unfortunately, it passed into the great beyond, last night; it became an ex chair. Trying to do three things at once, I wasn't paying attention and sat down on the very edge, causing the main support structure of the bench to disintegrate. Like everything, this was plastic, and shit wears out.
After perusing the various offerings, I chose a replacement and it's en route. A dining room chair has been pressed into service in the interim, but there's a problem. While I've configured my desk to temporarily work with the lower chair, I look like I should order from the kids menu on camera during my copious video interviews, which isn't acceptable. To address this issue, I pulled out a booster cushion I'd bought to shoot off the insanely high bench rests at my rifle club's hundred yard range. But this is a less than ideal solution, since the cushion is roughly twice the size of the bench on the dining room chair and the damn thing's quite unstable. This requires me to remain completely still during my interviews, lest I move just a bit too far and push the cushion off the chair. A bit difficult to appear relaxed when you're a few inches away from plummeting to the floor.
Fortunately, my replacement desk chair is due to arrive tomorrow. Some assembly required, of course.
