I recently read an article that stated that the percentage of inner office affairs between co-workers is on the rise! To be honest the news did not shock me in the least, the fact is we spend an extra ordinary amount of time in the work place so it would only seem logical that “affairs” would begin to bloom. Lucky or un-lucky for me I happen to work in a small office filled with married men or lads I can only describe as “brothers” so I for one will not be adding to that percentage, however one thing that does bother me at work is my relationship with my office chair!

“Fiona” as I have decided to call my office chair, since she is both a princess and an ogre, is a temperamental hag. Considering the amount of time we spend with each other you would think that she would lovingly support my back and arms, but alas she often leaves me hunched over and tension filled. Shhh! Don’t tell her but I am in the market for a new and younger model.

I have decided to court the Bungie Executive Massage Chair. She’s younger, she’s lean, she has nice curves and above all else she’s a giver! Sleek and modern in upholstered leather, powdered epoxy coat steel frame, with a pocket for adjustable massage control. She tilts, she swivels she lifts. Extra strong bungie cord loops she locks in mulitple postitions.

Along with being a man and the Queen of England in past lives, I think I may have also been a school teacher. The reason why I think this is because I love apples. I enjoy eating them, I enjoy seeing them in home decor, if I were honest I even lean towards them when I choose office supplies. I speculate that my secret fetish with apples stems from receiving them as gifts from my darling students in another life! That’s my theory and I am sticking to it.

So it shocks absolutely NO ONE that I find the Apple-Shaped Rattan Baskets adorable and a must-have to store your loose office supplies. Fill these apples with staplers, paper clips, love notes, notepads, random trinkets and do hickeys that serve no purpose beyond that you can’t get yourself to throw them away. (That pretty much sums up the bulk of my home office desk).

Also, it struck me that these rattan baskets would be excellent napkin holders. You could use them to store napkins on your kitchen counter or to house eating utensils and such on your dinner table. Honestly one must never be pigeonholed by the given description of an item but feel free to use the baskets in whatever manner suits your needs.

Have you broken your New Year’s resolutions already? Well one of mine is to get my life organized, I mean physically and mentally! But let’s start with the “physical” realm for now.

First of all, I speculate that someone in my office may have usurped my beloved office chair and replaced it with an imposter! Lately I feel like the arm rests and back support are all wrong. It took 2 long years of endless tweaking and adjusting, to get all the features in perfect alignment. Now my hefty derrière rests on a stranger’s throne. Argh!

In a perfect world I would catch the culprit red handed and subject them to torture until they disclosed the whereabouts of my former chair. In this world, the best I could do is search for options…

My quest begins with finding out what I am currently sitting on, which is the Herman Miller “Aeron” office chair (pictured above). I had no idea these chairs cost a thousand dollars, $1037.00 to be exact. Good grief! There is no way I can afford to buy another one of these bad boys, so I did some digging and I have come up with this option:

She is called “The Perfect Comfort 1100 - Ergonomic Computer Desk . The name says it all - perfect, ergonomic computer desk. I shall name mine Lola, because she is cheap and easy, in the best possible way. Lola only costs $299 at Absolute Comfort on Sale.

Features:
* Thick padded contour leather seat provides hours of comfort at the computer ( my old chair does NOT)
* Air Grid mesh back with built-in lumbar support provides a comfortable ergonomic sitting position while allowing air flow to keep you cool. ( I get HOT, this is crucial)
* One touch pneumatic seat height adjustment.
* 2-to1 synchro tilt control with adjustable tilt tension for easy reclining
* Height adjustable angled arms with soft PU pads.
* Heavy duty angled nylon base with oversized dual wheel carpet casters eliminates the need for an awkward vinyl carpet protector mat.
* 30 Day Free Trial Period and FREE Shipping
* Limited Life Time Warranty

Ummm… that pretty much cinches the deal for me. This Goldilocks has found the chair that is just right for her taste buds.

I hope this helps anyone else who has recently been chair jacked!
