A Real Emergency – My Quest for a Perfect Chair

Don’t you hate it when something happens to prevent your blogging routine. You start feeling all fidgety and nervous, and you realize that it is the blogging that’s causing this. Like a nervous smoker looking for that few hits, you start looking for an available computer, or for a spare minute at work.

I have experienced quite a few times during the last few months. Once, there was a busy week at work that never allowed my to stay up to date during the day, and I also had to bring some work home, so I couldn’t post any coherent articles during the evenings of this week.

But today is a real emergency. My new chair has broke down, and became unsittable. It all began when I decided to buy a new chair and retire (throw away) the old one. I spent hours shopping for that perfect chair that would bring me joy during the long hours blogging. Finally I had it, and the old one was jettisoned immediately. Little did I know that my new fancy $200 orthopaedic monster would quit on me 7 days after getting acquainted with my behind.

I’m writing this post standing on my knees. A rather religious experience… Why don’t I use a different chair, you might ask. I don’t have another chair. We live in a space-efficient household, with everything having its own purpose. It so happens that I don’t have an available chair to fit my workstation.

Anyhoo, since I’m not used to prayer, and my knees start to hurt, I will have to call it a day. Hope to hop to one of the shops tomorrow to get myself a new chair!
