...crack.... ping

[jay]

While on the telephone today in my office... I heard these noises. And suddenly, part of my desk chair fell off. Metal fatigue, the bolts had all sheared cleanly. The chair itself... I received it new in 1992, and it is now badly worn and stained and non-ergonomic anyway. Time for some new office furniture. I guess no one will complain, after 16 years...

I remember a friend visiting one of the accelerator labs i worked at, looking around, and saying, "Well, no one is going to claim you're wasting government money on furniture."

*hee*
I wouldn't be so amused if I didn't have a lab chair (with a broken back--if I want my back to touch the back of the chair I'm laying down) that has a set of initials placed on the back of the back...

the initials are those of someone who LEFT back around 1990...

Congratulations

I kinda miss the first aid kit that mostly expired before I was born. ;)

hmmm, I saw a twitter from compilerbitch that indicated that when she broke her really bad office chair, it was replaced with a worse office chair. I hope you have better luck. Or better chair-napping skills.

Wow... glad you weren't hurt, dear!
