Alright, you got me... It's actually my strategy to get more work done during the day. As soon as someone enters my office they get this weird look on their face, turn around and make a run for the bathroom. My daily interruptions are at an all time low and my productivity is soaring. I plan to take the car to work one of these days so my boss can enter my office and promote me for my superior productivity :D

There are basically only two muscles that keep you upright; stomach and back if you let one go the other has to compensate.

...Should not be taken lightly. My back has been hurting for over a week now. I replaced my chair last weekend and it seems to be getting better. This isn't the first time I've had job related back issues either. For all of those that think I must be an old geezer, I'm 27. Let this be a warning to all you young people out there who are just starting their job at the office (or a reminder for those who've worked there for a while)... Get a good chair and a well adjusted desk. Unlike your software your body doesn't have a backup!

}My goodness man, what are you going to do when the zombies invade, the meteor strike happens, ISIS hits your office, followed by the Imamah and then Cthulhu, and then a sharknado, and another Sol Nemisis pass through the Oort cloud. You'd be so scr...d. To heck with the comfy share go lift some iron, get in shape for the coming catastrophes.
Rage against the narrative.

That was my first thought but I live in the tropics and work in an "open plan" bench type set up.

Yes, I've had my spine removed long ago since it was really just a bother anyway. Much easier to be spineless these days.

}Yoga. Forward and backward bending postures. Of course, not by reading a book, or watching a video. But, with the guidance of a guru. Sadly, may be difficult to find a good yoga guru near your place, who doesn't charge (exorbitantly?). My guru in Bangalore taught for free. For about forty years (1968 onward). Not much publicity. Fortunate indeed to come across such a guru. - Six months of basic yoga (posture and breathing - asana and pranayama). - Six more months of simple meditation. - Six further months on a little more advanced meditation. I've attended the basic course about three to four times in my life - starting from 1981 (free, isn't it). And the advanced courses twice. No back problems till now, in spite of a sitting job, maybe a similar (or worse) kind of a chair like yours.

This is a brilliant observation.

Good suggestion, I'll put it in practice ASAP - also it is 42 km from home to work, should work pretty fast!

}Women. Don't forget women. They all want to be the one that leaves you standing on a railway platform in Paris with a silly expression on your face because you can't understand why your guts just got ripped out.....play it....you played it for her, you can play it for me....and when you finally acknowledge their veil dance, they report you to personnel. Steer clear. :sigh:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-26937454[^] Just because you do plenty of exercise, don't think that compensates completely for sitting 8 hours a day! It does help of course, but you need to get up, take a walk. Work standing some of the time, and sitting at other times. Change things around a bit. A bad back is pretty minor compared to some of the things you can get by sitting all day... like SO many of us do!

Well, I can't say, because I've lost my spine, but she says yes. :laugh:

I bike every day as well. It's 34km round trip, but I couldn't imagine having to drive it. I would likely wind up dead from a stroke after all the road rage.

}One placed I worked I started with a chair with no arms. The other people I worked theirs chairs were duct taped on. 4 months in I found a chair someone left. I snatched it up. Everyone else was jealous. This placed would not allow me to bring in my own chair because it would offend other people with bad chairs. 2000 Hours a year * 30 years = 60000 hours in a chair, get a good one and be happy.

}I replaced my office chair with my favorite one from home. When I go to the office supply stores for chairs, I sit at least 15 - 20 minutes in each. Just because it was comfortable when you first sit down, does not mean it will be comfortable 2 hours later. And of course, Samsonite stopped making the most comfortable office chair I have ever found. :(
