More office supplies...

I hate my chair at work. It's the Standard IBM Ergonomic Chair (Tall), and it's pretty sucky. I mean, it's better than a hard plastic cafeteria chair, but it makes my back hurt after a couple of hours. Since I'm expected to have my ass in it most of the day, this is a problem.

Well, I solved that one: http://www.lafumafurniture.com/Lafuma-RSX-XL-recliner.pro

Yup. A reclining lawn chair. Sat in one a few months ago in a store, and it was like it was made for my body.

I can't wait for the dept head to walk by one day while I've got that bad boy kicked back, laptop on lap... :D

I wonder if I should get the beverage holder/side tray? :)

Heh. J ended up with one of these when he was recovering from the quad laminectomy. Made life much nicer for him when he couldn't really move.

kicked back, laptop on lap

Important Safety Note: Do NOT do this with a laptop running Vista.

Y'see, Vista has boatloads of graphical "upgrades" and so the base OS hits your video card harder than anything other than a full-SLI twitch game.

Laptops for years have had all kinds of cooling for the CPU, but since nobody plays high-end games on laptops (unless they get the Area 51-M from Alienware, which is too heavy to hold on your lap anyway), the GPU is left pretty much nekkid.

During Vista's beta phase, people were complaining of actual burns (1st degree) to their legs. Between the heat that comes out of my new machine when all I'm doing is checking my email, and the zone I go into when I'm working particularly hard on something, I'm willing to believe those claims.
