A New Chair

I have been thinking about buying another office chair for the computer room. More often than not, and for years, the cats have laid claim to the padded office chair I have. So, they are on the padded chair, and I am on the metal folding chair that has a padded cushion. It is not the most comfortable chair I own.

I have over loaded the office with furniture and equipment.  I have a desktop PC, and a notebook that are very slow to use. And, I have a notebook that I can use.  I have a defunct printer that has only been defunct about 1-2 months ago. I have a roll-top desk, a computer desk, 2 bookshelves, an area for a kitty litter box. And a folding antigravity lounge chair. I use my anti-gravity lounge chair to relax and get some comfort, even in an upright position.

Today, after work, I went to a meeting at the Catholic Charities Resale Center in Lubbock, They have recently accepted a donation of a hundred office chairs. I bought one for my office, to replace the metal folding chair. This was fortuitous.  I have been thinking about replacing the metal folding chair with an office chair.  Most recently, Office Depot had a sale on office chairs, and I almost bought one for $60. But did not.

So, I was late getting home, as after the meeting, I stopped at Subway http://www.subway.com/en-us and bought a salad for dinner.  When I got home, no cat was waiting for me at the door.  My punishment for being late.  I took the groceries and lunch bags into the house. Then, I moved the chair into the house, having unloaded it from the Vue before I brought the Vue into the garage.

When I returned to the house, the cats were on the new chair, interested, and guarding it so I could not move it into the office.  Until they gave me the say so.

I replaced the metal folding chair with the new office chair, and found the new chair as comfortable at home as it was at the Catholic Charities Resale Center. I had some chores to do that were best done spread out on the dining table. When I returned to the computer room, Haiku had taken up residence on the new chair, and was not about to give it up. Much to the consternation of Taki.  Guess what, I need to go back to Catholic Charities and buy another chair.

Oh well, my cats are smarter than I am, and I know there will be plenty of chairs to chose from at the Catholic Charities Resale Center.
