Seriously, every stinkin' office chair that I have had the "pleasure" of parking my butt in for 8 hours a day have been crud.
And the one that I now call "mine" is no exception. My back HURTS. Badly. And its making me CRANKY. Is it too much to ask from employers that they fork out some dough on quality chairs? I am almost tempted to go by my own rock star quality chair to save my back. And Butt. And sanity. Anyone wanna donate to the Shannon Needs A Chair Fund? I would be happy to take donations! Heck, I would even be happy to hear your tips for making a cruddy chair at least semi comfortable.
Hey Shanny,
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of things you can do to make a chair more comfortable. Obviously, the best thing is a good chair, but you can also get back rests (like an Obusforme one) or a lumbar roll (it's a round pillow that goes where the small of your back is) could also be helpful.
Also, just adjusting your work station to be more ergnomic can help with all that stuff too.
Eep, my OT stuff comes in handy, finally! I can look into some stuff for you if you are interested. :D
