New furniture for the office
Irene had some of her medical tests last week. Included in that was a radiograph- basically, you are injected with radioactive stuff, then you have to wait for three hours…
Seasonal snowfall and a new comfy chair
We haven’t had as much snow this year here at our home near Castlegar as usual. So it was no real surprise when we got a bit of a dump of the white stuff last Friday. Waking up to a marshmallow world is not entirely a bad thing.
We also finally got that ‘comfy chair’ Irene and I have been wanting to add to my office space. There is a little story behind that as well.
(more…)Secretlab’s Titan: Because sitting is important…
I have been uncomfortable in my office chair for a year or so. It was a perfectly nice ‘executive style’ chair, but not long after the warranty ran out a couple of years ago it started to ‘list’ to one side by about 10 degrees. This abnormal sitting position was accompanied by a ‘rocking’ from side to side: I looked at the mechanism, and found that a bearing hole in a metal plate that was supposed to be round had become oblong due to wear.
So I started looking around for a replacement. After some trepidation, I decided to opt for a ‘gaming’ chair: yes, I’m a gamer, but I’m not a tech-bro “Gamer”, so choosing one of the iconic clique-indicators of this tribe for my home seemed a bit wrong. Specifically I started looking at the products made by Secretlab, and specifically their Titan model.
