The Icing

Sometimes the simplest things can transform your life. Long, long ago, I ended up giving my favorite desk chair to someone (long story). For years afterwards, I used an old dining room chair which was never comfortable. I eventually realized that I was sitting on the edge of the chair when I worked on the computer--in other words, my back had no support. Finally, a few months ago, I bought a nice desk chair. It's really comfortable except for one thing: the desk chair arms don't allow me to push my chair underneath my desk. So I've STILL been sitting at the edge of my chair with no back support. Just now, J. came into my office and suggested that I push my computer monitor forward on my desk (along with the mouse)--and I'm now typing at my desk like a normal person. Just like that, my work life has improved exponentially.
