Whenever I work at my computer table (either typing or painting) I used to sit on a fold out lawn chair. It's fancy and has padding, but it's not really comfortable. My recent shoulder issues made this painfully aware. I couldn't sit for longer than 30 seconds before noticing the pain in my shoulder.
I finally picked up a new and proper office chair (courtesy of Uncle Sam). It's black, comfy, moves up and down, just like a proper chair ought to.
I have yet to feel any pain in the time it took me to type this.
Next up - a new computer desk. The glass models look very sleek, but there aren't a lot of other hiding placed for painting supplies, and the like. I've seen wooden ones that were OK, but looked too much like cheap pressed wood. I'm going to take another week or so to look around. Stapes has a decent looking one, but it seems a bit small. Besides Office Depot and Staples, can anyone reccommend somewhere else I can look?
After desk, I can go several different directions: more speakers for the TV, or a bike to join the legion of bikers (saving gas isn't that big an issue for all that I drive), or I can join the other legion of flatscreen TV owners. *drool*
