Chair Stare

Today I bought a new chair.

It was for my desk at home as my old chair had essentially kicked the bucket and gone to the great chair heaven in the sky. It is probably the best place for it. It served me well, but really started to hurt my back. I now have a much more comfortable and adjustable black leather chair which will help my posture when I'm at my desk. Very nice. And very boring to read about no doubt.

The reason I'm writing about my new chair is that it's helped me finish updating and refreshing my CV! The chair was a bastard to put together and it doesn't help when you're DIY retarded like me. However much swearing later I managed to place my new partially reclining beauty in front of my desk. And it even has a charismatic creak! (No chair is complete without a charismatic creak)

Anyway the chair got me thinking about things. First off, it's a lot more comfortable then my chair at work. Secondly, I can pretend to be an evil Bond villain and have already twice swivelled around evily glaring at the imaginery spy come to put a stop to my evil plans. I even placed one of the cats on my lap to add effect.

After I'd got over playing in my new chair, I settled down to check my emails and do some work. The chair was so comfortable I ended up working on my CV idly and didn't realise until a few hours later that I hadn't got up to stretch my spine which was usually in a lot of pain after half an hour on the old chair. Incredible! What else can I accomplish on this chair? I intend to find out.

All I can say is if you don't have a good chair in front of your desk, make sure you get one - you can pretend to be an evil villain for one thing!
