By which I mean, I have acquired a new desk chair and I have rearranged the layout of my desk.
The new chair was a necessity. My previous desk chair gave me many years of loyal service, but over the past month or so it had developed a forward tilt and a sideways list, making it uncomfortable to sit in.
The new desk layout sprang primarily from a desire to have my monitor not be in a position where I had to crane my neck slightly upward to look at it. That placement was a holdover from the days of CRT monitors, which were as long or longer from front to back as they were from side to side. The lower side of my desk wasn’t built to hold an object of that size. As for the rest of the desk – let’s just say that back in the year when we bought it, the ergonomics of computer use were far from well-understood.
Also, the damned thing is so sturdy I probably couldn’t break it if I whaled away at it with a sledge hammer for a week.
